In "The Giver," living in a place where no doors are ever locked symbolizes a society that prioritizes safety, trust, and conformity over individuality and personal freedom. It reflects an environment where citizens feel secure enough to not need privacy or personal boundaries, suggesting a lack of real choice or autonomy.
