Function of に here?


Found this sentence:

> 両親が死んだというのに、悲しもうとすらしない俺 **に** 向けられる目が。クズみたいなニート **に** 向けられる目、敵意。軽蔑。

That に in 「悲しもうとすらしない俺に向けられる目が」is acting as the indirect object or is it
marking the doer? Since it's a passive sentence.




This ～に is marking the target/destination of the 目. ～に used in a passive
construction does not necessarily mark the doer (agent).

> 俺 **に** 向けられる目  
>  stares cast **to** me  
>  (not "stares cast **by** me")

Now you may be wondering if に in a passive sentence can be ambiguous. The
answer is yes. See the following questions:
