the allegory cave
well while reading the allegory of the cave in my own words i think allegory means ideas and principles that are represented by a character or event in a story.the allegory is basically about two brothers who are trapped inside a cave and only facing one way which is there back towards the sunlight and they see shadows of puppets and the puppet talker made them believe that the shadow was talking but then one day one of the brothers got the chance to see that it was sunlight coming inside the cave this is based on platos allegory.this passage relates with the matrix because in the movie there is this make believe world and it makes them believe things and know that only certain people such as neo is able to.with the choices of seeking the truth in the movie there is all different types of examples that the allegory of the cave is compared to.
