Plato's allegory of the cave describes what life could really be like. It describes how people are born into a prison they are forced to stare at a wall their whole lives and this becomes their reality when actually it is just whatever the free men want to show them. It talks about the mental challenges of facing reality that the one freedman faces in regards to accepting it and the physical pain of the sun hurting his eyes. The allegory of the cave describes a scenario of a human's journey to find and accept reality.
