Here's how it happens:
* Meg, Charles, and Calvin are trapped in the dark, oppressive house of the Black Thing, a force of evil.
* Meg is desperate to save Charles from the Black Thing's influence.
* The book explains that love is a powerful force, able to overcome even the darkest evil.
* Meg, fueled by her love for Charles, focuses all her energy on him and on the power of love. This allows her to push through the barrier of darkness and open a path for them to escape.
The wall opening is a powerful symbol of how even in the face of overwhelming darkness, love can find a way through.
