๐ Prisoners are confined in a cave and can only see shadows and echoes on the wall.
๐ฅ A fire behind the prisoners casts shadows of objects passing on a raised walkway.
๐ The prisoners have never known any other world except for the shadows and echoes.
๐ค The released prisoner experiences the outside world for the first time and wants to share his discoveries.
๐ The prisoners cannot recognize their friend after he is released, as his appearance and voice have changed.
๐ณ๏ธ Plato's Allegory of the Cave is about people stuck in a cave who cannot understand the outside world.
๐ The world outside the cave is just as real as the world inside the cave.
