do you agree or disagree that the human attachment to appearances is an important theme of "the nose"?

Yes, I agree that human attachment to appearnce is an important theme in the short story "The Nose".

Explanation:

The theme of appearance and identity is the foremost and recurring idea in the short story "The Nose" by Nikolai Gogol. The story follows the character of Major Kovalyov and his efforts to retrieve his lost nose.

The human attachment to appearance is an important theme in the story. This is because when Major Kovalyov discovered that his nose had 'escaped', he did everything he could to get it back. When he initially found his nose missing, he hid his face while going out, dreading meeting anyone he might recognize. He even went to the newspaper office to place an ad about his missing nose.
