In the passage "The Allegory of the Cave" Plato, discusses the interesting concept of the truth. People who live in the cave, refuse to accept the reality. In the cave, men live shackled to the wall, only capable of staring straight ahead. All they can see are the shadows of images carried between a curtain and a fire by some other people, who talk and make noises. The prisoners assume that what they see and hear is reality. They believe is everything is shadow. If a man were released and forced outside, the brilliance would be painful and make everything difficult for him to understand.
