Allegory Of The Cave By George Orwell

Decent Essays
Humans are highly sociological creatures. The famous historian Henry Adams, descendant of two of our Founding Fathers, once said "chaos is the order of nature; order is the dream of man", to relate the need and therefore dependency of humans to satisfy their most innate needs of order and acceptance with the paradox of the obscurity of the physical world. Infatuated with synapses and patterns of information, this need for logic causes them to flock to sources of knowledge, whether credible or otherwise. Philosophers have struggled to discern a rationale for this aspect of human condition, but Greek philosopher Plato, and English novelist George Orwell have respectively constructed a similar credo in their works "Allegory of the Cave" and "Animal

    “The Death of a Salesman” perfectly represents how our expectations can be the death of us. Biff, who is the son of Willy, depicts freedom and light as he reminds his father that money doesn’t define him, though Willy is isolated and a prisoner to his dark and twisted mind. “The Death of a Salesman” parallels “Allegory of a Cave” because it expands on the idea of being chained to see a shadow or a tiny glimpse of a bigger picture. Just like in the cave, Willy symbolizes the prisoners; shackled and chained to only see what’s in front of them.…

    In his Allegory of the Cave, Plato suggests that reality may be very different from what we imagine it to be. We can see this in the novel Ubik where the inertials experience illusions rather than reality. Some people are comfortable with living in their own reality, which is based on their subjective ideas on the world. Plato believes we should all seek to escape from this “cave”, our realities, made up of false perceptions and face the harsh realities although it can cause us pain. Just like the inertials had to face the reality that they were all in half-life and that they would eventually die.…

    Henry David Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience and Plato’s Allegory of the Cave reveal differences and similarities on their outlook on government and solutions to rid their prospective states of certain problems. These solutions focus on freeing oneself from conforming to societal norms in favor of seeking “enlightenment” and awareness. The aforementioned great minds of their times both argue variations of the same views on human existence and an individual 's role in their respective societies. At their core, these two political philosophies urge humanity to threaten the safety of the status quo; they push man to dare to be skeptics, dare to climb out of the depths of their limited perspectives, dare to question what is true reality…

Allegories can act as analogies that point out logical inconsistencies and cause one to reflect and even question their own way of life.

This allegory displays the confining nature of life without wonder, or philosophy, and the steps – which can be mentally demanding – to take toward enlightenment. Plato writes this allegory during the Classical Age in Greek history.…
