Thesis

//The Allegory of the Cave// by Plato is an analogy between people trapped in society from becoming enlightened and prisoners in a cave, only able to shadows cast on a wall. Plato's purpose was to spread the message to search for the truths in life. It has connections to many other documents and novels such as //The Constitution of the United States// and //Edgar Huntly// in regards to individual liberty and the pursuit of equality throughout history.
