The everlasting open door in Riddell’s The Open Door symbolizes unresolved tensions, both personal and societal, anxieties that refuse to be suppressed nor ignored. It serves as a metaphor for the fragility of Victorian stability, representing hidden struggles, guilt left unacknowledged, and the limits of human comprehension in a seemingly “haunted” world.
