The Alegory of the Cave

The allegory of the cave is about three men that have been prisoners ever since they were boys. They are tied down while pupeteers cast shadows over a fire and the prisoners gaze at them and discuss between eachother what the shadows resemble. Then one day they hear voices and are being dragged out of the cave which they are reluctant to do. They do not want change this is there world they are prisoners and this is there life and they dont know any other beside this one. The girl or the man I dont remeber who it was was taken out of the cave and could not see in the new light and were not accustomed to it. The prisoner was still reluctent and was ordering to be returned to the cave immediatly and was. But eventually one left the cave out of curiosity and decided not to return to the cave but went back to try and get the other prisoners to leave and experiance the new world and eventually one by one they left the cave and came into the world. At first they could not see in the brightness and all they could make out was a bright white light. But after many years thay became accustommed to the light and were able to live out normal lives. I think this story is about the fear of change and how much we can be in denial about hings. If people are brought knowing one thing someone says against their belief; that person would be reluctant to change.
