BLOG 3 ''THE ALLEGORY OF THE CAVE''

This dialectic between two men called “Socrates’’ And “Glaucon,” Where “Socrates” explains and describes the life Of a group of people that have lived their entire lives, chained to one Another and to a blank rusty blank wall in a cave. This people grow up by just looking At the shadows of subjects, and people walking by a front of a fire they had behind them, That they never knew what it was, and this shadows where reflected on the blank wall in front of them. However one of the prisoners gets the chance and was Set free, where he got to experience the real world, and figure that all his life he was Living in a lie, that the cave he would called world, wasn’t the real world, that the real World was outside the cave, where he experience and learn what was the sun, how birds Looked like, the grass, and how he learn and could understand now from where this shadows He called world came from. Although he got the knowledge of the real and the fake, this was Not enough to be humiliated by the rest of the group when he went back to the cave, trying To set the others free also from a false world they were in it. The rest of them would make Fun of him and ironically they thought he was the crazy one. Never the less he decided To go back to a better life, then to be stuck in the world called Cave and the shadows he could only see.
