The only reality they knew was demonstrated before them as the shadows of civilians as they passed by them.

Plato’s Allegory of the Cave depicts a scene in which people are chained up in a cave‚ that forces them to face the back wall without the ability to turn their heads. There is a fire burning behind them that casts light onto the wall. Objects are held in front of the fire like a puppet show and all the people can see is the shadows of the objects. These humans have been chained in the cave since birth and the shadows that they see are what they believe to be reality. Some of the prisoners might comment
