Furthermore, the lighting of the image makes it appear as thought the hand is pressed up against a glass, which seems to be calling for help. This image immediately alerts the reader that something bad is going to happen to the narrator.
The narrator's hand also has a ring on it. This functions to form a connection between the impersonal narrator and the personal details of his life, including his loved ones. This highlights the human perspective that the narrator has, and helps the reader to connect and sympathize with the narrator.
