I can understand the character in the Overcoat completely. It's intriguing to see what happens when people are shaken out of the cocoon. Interesting tale.
The Nose was strange- I felt (before reading any other interpretation) it was about how people of a certain class expect their "due," or take certain elements of status for granted. And have no idea how to act when not treated that way.

The Overcoat, while also fantastical, is easier to understand I think

While the stories are entertaining, they didn't leave me with that much to say.
