Allegory of the cave video

Today in western cove we watched a video about the allegory of the cave by Plato. In this video they went over the summary of the story.  Of the writing where there were people imprisoned in a cave forced to look at a dongle wall.  Then behind them was a fire and a wall where people would walk behind it holding up things to cast shadows in the light on the wall. These people would then have to learn all that they could about these things and guess which is to come in order to get a reward.  This sounds like a horrible life, but I is all the people had so they had no idea of a better life.  Then eventually one man escaped from the cave and saw the outside world.  Eventually after his eyes but
Tend from the sun they adjusted and he saw the real true version of what he thought he saw in the cave, and he was enlightened of the truth. Then when he attempted to return to the cave to let his comrades know what he found he realized the the cave was far too dark for him to see in and he tripped and stumbled all of the way in.  And once he reached the others they prosecuted and plotted to kill him for his ideas.  This is an allegory of the philosophers life in the time of philosophers.
