cave‚ one of the first themes you come across while reading the Allegory of the Cave is ignorance. The chains binding them to the cave could merely be interpreted as a metaphor for ignorance‚ as if they wanted to fulfil enlightenment‚ all they would have to do is ask questions and seek the truth; however they all decide to stay put in the cave and accept the reality presented to them. The reason for this ignorance is because the cave is steep and rigid with sharp rocks; it’s a tricky journey throughout

particular portrayal of the Hindu god Shiva‚ he is shown with four arms and flying locks of hair‚ as he dances on top of the figure of a dwarf‚ Apasmara which in English‚ translates to “forgetfulness‚” or “heedlessness”.
