The Allegory of the cave says that there is quite a different between appearances and reality‚ and I think that this statement could not be truer. When I hear this I think of the “perfect” family. A stay at home mom‚ a working dad‚ a daughter on the honor roll‚ and a son on the football team. They all go to church on Sunday morning and are well involved in their community. Their family appears to be so perfect to everyone around them‚ but that’s just because no one knows their realities. See the

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

“The Allegory of the Cave” The Allegory of the Cave can be broken down in many ways. It basically states that people are chained to the wall in a cave and they have nothing to look at but the shadows of one another. This is all that they know of that exists; no one has ever been outside the cave. We have to look real hard for the hidden messages or what the author is trying to allude to in this story.
