second hand truth, which the prisoners perceive is real. In this text the most significant ideas of Plato’s allegory is the idea of self- actualization and real truth. Plato states many examples to show that the people trapped are living in a false reality, and that they are closed minded; everything the trapped people are seeing is shadows of the truth and not the actual object. Plato says the person would state when seeing the truth “ what he saw was an illusion”. The use of the chains…

The prisoners who are locked in a cave that cannot even look inside the cave in the cave are confused by the rational judgment, the slave of the desire not to be able to make a good…
