Comparing the Death of a Moth and Allegory of a Cave Roberto Rodriguez University of La Verne Abstract Extremely interesting how Virginia Woolf and Plato describe their point of views in their essays. Novice individuals as myself have a very hard time understanding these pieces. On the other side open minded individuals would have endless ideas on what both authors are trying to express. The Death of a Moth and Allegory of a Cave although a very bold and arguable statement

Commentary Plato’s Allegory of the Cave is the factual perception on what human’s ignorant minds accept whatever they perceive without envisioning the reality.

The book I chose to analyze is Choose your own adventure: The Cave of Time‚ which was the first book of the choose your own adventure series. On its own‚ the book stands as a rebel among normal books‚ presenting itself as an interactive book‚ where one must discontinuously read to harvest all the possible endings. On a personal level‚ the book’s significance emerges as I delve into the past. Growing up in poor neighborhood in Venezuela‚ not many books were available to me‚ and thus reading for fun

I will cover the Allegory of the Cave in regards to the Matrix. My four examples of how this theme is presented in the film are being deceived into believing a falsehood‚ the unreliability of the senses‚ accomplishing of great feats‚ and teaching others about truth. I will refer to the protagonist of the Matrix as Neo and the protagonist of the Allegory of the Cave as Prisoner. Both Neo and Prisoner were deceived into believing in a falsehood: that they lived in the real world. In the Matrix‚ Neo
