A number of doors connote the idea that the protagonist must overcomemany barriers during his fight for what he wants, and if he does overcome

these barriers then he might just find that he becomes a better person for

A plain, narrow corridor with many closed doors. The plainness of the corridor

indicates to how bland he thinks his life is, not having any close friends or

family to fulfil and complete him. The narrowness of the corridor highlights

adopted. The closed doors are a metaphor for all of the people who theprotagonist has tried to get close to in his life to somehow substitute them for

his real family, but sadly these people have never stuck around for long.
