    1. confinement
      1. it is so vast, so broad, and Truman can not go over, above or in it
      2. Freedom
        1. the way “out”. It’s an escape, a way to vanish from this world.
          1. further represented through Truman’s dreams as a youth to be an explorer, and despite Christof’s manipulations, this dreams never appears to die.
        2. Ability to evade Christof’s attempts at total control.
          1. Recreation of Sylvia's face
            1. Chest hidden in Truman's basement.
            2. Bridges
              1. represent the way out, but their length and being over water represents confinement - they offer only a long and difficult escape route.
                1. Others a simply a dead end - no chance of escape at all.
