The Allegory of the cave is is basically an imagined scenario 


narrated by Plato during his time.The main idea of this 


scenario is that what human beings thinks as reality in this 


world isn't the real truth.There is always a truth hidden in the


shadows of walls.In this scenario some people are imagined 


to be chained up in such a way that they can't move their


 heads.They are seat to see a projector like a wall size.The 


shadows are so close that they take them as real.If one of the 


prisoner gets chance to get out from this chained world and is


 held to face the sunlight then, he will be thinking that this is 


the source of all the things.For the reflections, for the years to


 come and pass away.If this prisoner goes back to his fellow 


mates and describes what he saw, then they will be thinking


 him as crazy because for them the reality is with in the 


boundaries. If you are locked in a room from reality all you 


know are the things you can see and what is around you but 


there  are things beyond the room.When you start asking 


questions you get more curious and want to know and that’s 


when you will escape the chains and will look beyond the


 walls. There will be new experiences in life where you are 


chained but it is your decision if you want to leave that closed


 in reality.
