Plato's Allegory of the Cave

In this piece of work Plato describes a cave where there are prisoners chained to the cave wall and they can only look forward. There are two sources of light, fire that is behind them and the cave opening. They were born into the cave. There are puppeteers and the prisoners were seeing shadows of humans and of animals. One of the prisoners breaks free and goes towards the light. At first he was blinded by the light and is experiencing all this stuff he has never seen before. The cave is a way to represent life because people are seeing the truth that we are told and we never actually know if it's the truth. Some people keep things hidden from us. We never really know what's truthful unless we experience it for ourselves
