    believe is reality. This is what Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” was based on. According to the text‚ the prisoners are sitting in a cave‚ chained from their legs to their neck so they cannot move. The prisoners are watching images cast on the wall with fire blazing above and behind them. They cannot grasp true reality‚ which are shadows intentionally made by men. They were forced to have one idea; and if anyone tried to lead a prisoner to the light‚ they would be killed. A prisoner is soon set free

The prisoners and the fire are separated by a mini wall. Then from what I understand is that these puppeteers hold up puppets that put shadows on that one wall that the prisoners

    According to how Plato depicts prisoners‚ I think I am a prisoner. To begin I can say that Plato through his allegory illustrates how we are all prisoners in this world. He does that by comparing our lack of knowledge of what is real and what is not to his prisoners who knew nothing except the shadows of reality‚ and who believed what they saw as real. For example‚ at the beginning when Plato depicts the kind of prisoners he is talking about‚ Glaucon responds by saying that it is a strange
