Explain the meaning of "the door in the wall?"
It is an image that represents that, even when faced with challenges—walls placed in front of one's path—there are always opportunities—doors in the wall—that can be found, allowing one to pass through their hardship. This symbol is used as a way to inspire Robin to stay in good spirits and not get downhearted about his disabled legs. The door is also mentioned by Sir Peter when Robin is unsure of how he can fulfill his duties as a page. Robin discovers many "doors" despite his handicap, such as his craftsmanship and intelligence. The greatest door, however, is the courage that he shows when he ventures out of Lindsay to save the English—a moment in which Robin actually literally passes through a door in the wall of the castle.
