Summary " The Allegory of Cave'

In the Republic Book VII , the article "The Allegory of Cave' indicates the main purpose of majority of human beings not being able to enlighten the truth of the world, just cause of what they seeking, they living in a underground den. The prisoners are trapped in a dark room chained up and the images they see are the ones coming from beside or passed by them because of the bright fire behind them giving them the light because it bouncing off the walls before them. So they not really seeking the actually imagine, its only the shadow that they believing everything is made of wood and stone and various materials to be real image.

"And now look again, and see what will naturally follow it the prisoners are released and disabused of their error", having a hard time seeking nature. He so used of facing the dark walls and seeing shadows , so when he actually can see the object first hand its hard for him to adjust to the light and the objects that passed by only seems unreal to him. Not having a full understanding on what the objects in color are. As he get getting a clear visual of the objects, he not seeking the truth, he not believing what he seeing for the first time. Meaning its new to him he don't want to believe it.

" And when he remembered his old habitation, and the wisdom of den and his fellow prisoners, do you not suppose that he would felicitate himself on the change, and pity them ?, now that he get the full visual he shows the light off to his equal. Meaning that he don't want his equal to believe what they seeing was actually real when it wasn't. But of course being in the dark den knowing that his equals eyes aren't very steady but he still manage to show them the new sight of the true life. They thought he was being ridiculous. They even suggested, not to think of ascending. His equal were so tamid of the light ans what their owners would do to them if they saw them fixing their eyes even towards the light, "they would put him to death", something that they didnt want and only made them even more scared.

According to the article, with the prisoners really seeking the truth into nature only made them better and knowing that its way more out there then a solid color. "But wether true or false, my opinion is that in the world of knowledge the idea of good appears last of all, and is seen only with an effort; and when seen, is also inferred to  be the universal author of all things beautiful and right' only made the article more understanding and clear, putting the effort to actually extended your eyes to the light wether it will  hurt you or not, you will get the full image not just the shadow anymore no matter how long youve been in the dark for. The result you will get will be the right result and also beautiful then what the prisoners was expecting because what they was facing the whole time.
