The mirror, in literal terms, is an object in which we can see our own reflection. But Dr. Heidegger also sees in his own mirror, the images of his deceased patients. The mirror symbolizes his past failures and those patients he could not save. This symbol is a key to the character of Heidegger, who is aware of human limitations that we could not be young again even if he could be.
