The Allegory of the Cave

The Allegory of the Cave is about a group of prisoners who are living their whole life under a cave. The people have not seen the reallity of life and for their entire life they are faced towards a big plain wall. Above where they are sitting, there is a fire. In front of the fire, a person place a toy n the shadow of the toy is shown on the big wall. The prisoners thinks that the oject is real and it can talk. Whatever they saw infront of them, it was the reality that they know of. If the prisoners got up and outside the cave, they would know there is much more then what they have known. Comparing this from the movie Matrix, both of them has to do with the life they don't know about. Like the life of Matrix. There is more then there is that they know. (i dont knw if i just made any sense).
