Cave Of Beasts: A Short Story

Improved Essays
A long time ago, in Ancient Egypt, in the Cave of Beasts, there once lived a Seer, a person who could foresee the future. She once lived a battle that she wasn’t able to face.
“Stop, please!” she cried. Even though she was blind, she knew that a figure in a cloak was after her to try and steal her powers.
“I need your powers. They are to powerful for someone like you to comprehend,” the figure said. The Seer then waved her dress and a gust of wind blew the figure back toward the wall.
“You have no idea the forces that you’ll be messing with. These powers,” she paused. “They always come with a price.” She remembered the day she got those powers. “The minute I got these powers, was the minute I lost my sight.”
“Well, fortunately for me,” he paused.

The prisoners as the Greek intemperate are the iron man just as humanity in this generation. The puppeteers are the government. The shadows that the fire cast, which puppeteer's show in the walkway represents what the government wants to show the citizen or (the prisoners of society).…

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.…
