At the end the prisoner in the cave thought their partner is dangerous for them and killed him. Afterwards, when he adjust himself according to that environment, that time he suddenly go to escape the rest of the prisoners, when he told the truth of the environment to other prisoners, they felled that, he is speaking lie, and think that he has lost his mental senses as they were not ready to accept what they have not seen with their own eyes. As a result, he will make an attempt to bring out to the world of realism where he has just endured.Īt the end of the story Plato describes that prisoner as a philosopher as he has the real knowledge about the surrounding, but, when he returns to the cave, similarity happen of blindness for a little time as early happened. Furthermore, because he was in the cave with the rest of the prisoners from since his childhood. After that, he come to know about that the things were artificial, his life in a prison of a wall was fake.Īdditionally, Plato tells that prisoner was dragged out from that place in cave by force and rough, when that freed prisoner came out from the cave, he became blind by the sunlight for a little time, but after that he adjusted himself slowly in the surrounding and came to know about the real environment where he learned and watched plethora of things and later, he believe that there is a lot in the real society and feels that the rest of the prisoners should also escape from the cave and come to them in the real reality. Plato, however, “specifies the fire as political doctrine that are taught in a nation state.” In the mid of the story, Plato freed a prisoner, who first turn back and saw the fire first time, and that hurt and frightened him, because of more light this will make difficulty for him to see the moving objects, which were making the shadows. The shadows which were made by the flame is differentiated by the confusions or the illusions that are made in the modern era by the technology, this includes diversity of things like videos, 3-Dimension movies, electronics, and many more. However, the echo’s which listen by them are of the people who are walking back side of the wall, but they think these are caused by the shadows as that is reality for them because they haven’t gone out of the cave. These prisoners considered shadows as a reality as they are unrevealed about the truth. Even, they see only the wall, and the shadows from the objects like chairs, artificial trees, and puppet as behind them is fire. In began, Plato elucidates that, the people who are living in the cave are the prisoners and they are there from their childhood, moreover, they are chained in such a manner that they are only able to face the wall as the neck and the legs are fixed. Further, he also tried to explain his experience with the remaining world, but no one was interested to hear him. He got shocked after experiencing reality. However, when he came outside and encountered this present reality his contemplation was completely changed. I believe in him since he never observed this present reality as early he just observed the shadows and trusted this occasion is the main reality. As in the story, Plato describes the real, and the virtual world that he experiences after coming out from cave in the story.

In this essay, I will argue that Plato is correct. In this story Plato, tells that most of us are living in world where all of us are covered with fake environment unknown to reality. An allegory refers to a deeper meaning in this story everything is illustrating something else. He presented this story as the dialogues between two people. The Allegory of the Cave is the story written by the Greek philosopher Plato, who was the founder of the Platonist school of academy and thought.
