What does the writer suggest about the person or people underneath the appearance? How does he do this?

The writer suggests about the people being underneath the appearance that there is more to Pavel, the character we are analysing, than meets the eye. A quote that conveys this thought is ,” Made him believe that he had worn a beard in the past.” This portrays how he was once a free man, knowing that he was a doctor before, he has a past behind him and has some thoughts, he is there for something and is just like Maria but with disappointing memories.
