“Crito” is a dialogue written by Plato during 360 B.C.E. In the beginning of the dialogue, Socrates is in prison waiting to be executed. He is visited by his friend, Crito, which tries to convince Socrates to escape the prison. Crito and his friends had made arrangements so that Socrates can escape, but Socrates is unwilling to do so as he wants to go through his execution. Crito presents to him many arguments to try to persuade him to escape. One argument is if Socrates doesn’t escape, then everyone in the town will think that his friends, including Crito, are bad friends since they didn’t even try to help Socrates escape. Another argument is if Socrates gets executed, then he’ll be abandoning his sons leaving them to be orphans. Last argument
