    Myth of the Cave” can’t have more different titles with completely different meanings right; well‚ not exactly. How is it that an allegory about a seagull is anything like an allegory about people inside of a cave? Allegories are just representations of a thing that has a hidden moral or religious meaning the titles of these allegories are very misleading until you analyze them both. Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach and “The Myth of the Cave” by Plato are both allegories about people

    What Plato is trying to teach with The Allegory of the cave is that things that we learn through the senses are not always the truth and people are too close-minded to try to see things in a different light. In Plato’s theory the cave represents that people believe that only things you can see or hear are true or real. The cave shows how these people are trapped in there misunderstanding of reality. The Shadows represent the mistruths presented as reality in the world. The game represents that people

    Allegory of the Cave Summary Plato’s Allegory of the Cave presents an enthralling concept that holds strong to this day. In the allegory three main ideas are illustrated : that we have been conditioned to a definite reality since birth‚ we scorn being brought into the ‘light’ of knowledge‚ and that we (as a society) reject anything that contradicts the notions of our preconceived reality. Clever Plato took these ideas and weaved them into an intriguing story of prisoners trapped in an underground
