 In the text “The Allegory of the Cave” Plato use this script to observe if humans are aware of the truth past the external aspect of their own world or not. He stated in text that there were people held captive and chained in a cave with very little light. They assumed that the images that went by them were real because that was all they saw. They would watch shadows past by them throughout the day and speak because they heard the echo. A prisoner was set free from confinement and was injured by the sun light. Little by little he became use to the light and seen the actual world. He tried to inform prisoners about the world past their external aspect but they renounced him because he didn’t see the world as they did anymore. This text is an allegory for how tormenting true facts are.
