At that, in my case, the major reason is not other people’s inability to accept the truth although this would happen as well. I also see the true nature of certain things, but I am unable to inflict my knowledge of others due to various reasons. Interestingly, I am in a similar situation to the unchained resident of the cave. Observation became the sun that made me see the reality and the highest standards of the good and the most notorious and pathetic illustrations of the bad. We became roommates, and I could closely observe the way he behaved. My enlightenment or freedom from the power of John took place when we had a chance to spend several months together. I saw some shadows while the reality was absolutely different and sometimes quite the opposite. I hardly ever saw the way John behaved with others, I only listened to millions of stories about his success and positive influence on the universe. My relationships with this person are very similar to the fire game the prisoners in the cave had to observe.

I also understand the nature of my imprisonment as our relatives had always pushed us making us believe that we could be good friends. I felt I was unchained the moment I learned about John’s actual character.

When we did, I saw his true colors, which made me change my attitude and my trust vanished, and it was beneficial for me. I believed John, which is his name, was my best friend although we had spent quite a limited time together. I was imprisoned for many years as I hardly ever tried to question my former best friend’s actions. I will illustrate the relevance of Plato’s allegory to modernity by providing some examples from my life. The story can be divided into four parts including imprisonment, the fire experience, freedom, and return. Moreover, it can successfully describe any individual’s life as people face similar challenges and opportunities throughout different periods of their existence. Plato’s story is an allegory that is still relevant in the modern world. Be very specific about places, dates, and people Show how each part has relevance to your life. Identify and describe the four main parts of Plato’s Cave.
