The man creates a pseudonym and hides behind it like a worm

Summary

This quote suggests that the individual mentioned is hiding their true self behind a fictional identity, much like a worm burrows beneath the surface.

The comparison to a worm highlights the notion of being small, insignificant, and lacking sincerity or authenticity in their interactions with others.
