Explanation:

In The Nose by Nikolai Gogol, Kovaloff is worried that he won't find a rich woman to marry after the disappearance of his nose.

According to the short story, a man named Kovaloff who loves to flirt and prides himself on his rank and title one day wakes up and discovers he doesn't have a nose and as a result he struggles with his self esteem because  he values his physical appearance highly.
