How does Nikolai Gogol use imagery in The Government Inspector?

Imagery:

“It's a simple affair, not worth talking about! On the table, for instance, is a water-melon that costs seven hundred rubles. The soup comes straight from Paris by steamer in the tureen: there's nothing in the world to be compared with its flavour!”

“.... rather good-looking and well-dressed—and walks into the room, with such an expression on his face—such a physiognomy—and a style so distinguished a head-piece....”

"God help me out of this mess quickly and I'll light the most enormous candle you've ever seen. I'll make each shopkeeper stump up for a hundred pounds of wax."
