They see shadows from the people walking outside‚ but they don’t know what they are. One prisoner is freed and sees real light‚also known as a sign of life or freedom‚ but it hurts his eyes.

According to the Plato’s allegory of cave‚ prisoners cannot move and see shadows reflected on the cave wall. However‚ the shadow the prisoners look at is not their real shadow.
