Question by the answer chancer: Help with finding a word for when there is more than meets the eye?
I’m trying to find a nice, concise word for presenting a consistant theme in a particular poet’s work. The poet describes characters and situations which are largely unimpressive, but then elaborates to reveal the splendor and extraordinariness present internally. He deals with the external versus the internal.

One example of this is in one of his poems, where the poet introduces an enigmatic character who has been forced into retirement due to physical inability to work, but remains shrewd and perspicacious. The workings of his mind are so indiscernable to the poet, he notes “Nothing escapes him; he escapes us all.”

Can anyone come up with a word suitable for the theme, or indeed, any words an examiner might like that you think could be appropriate for my answer?
