They should have read the Allegory a little more closely. It's really important how angry the prisoner is at not understanding the real world. He only knows the shadows and at first the real world is the fake world to him. Not bad clay here, but for gods sakes get the shit right.
Good grief. After reading most of the comments, I first shook my head in pity at the intellectual vacuum and woeful derth of substantive curiosity; but then I shook my head in amusement. These comments: talk about appropriate. :-)
this is in "the republic of plato" a text written by Plato who was the apostle of Socrates the prisoners are tied up facing a wall with a fire behind them and because a fire is in constant movement it acts as a puppeteer of sorts whenever anything comes between the fire and the prisoners now the story goes that the prisoner escapes the cave and after seeing the world for what it truly is desires to go back to tell the others when he does they kill him...you cannot speak of logos concerning being
im not sure, i thought they just said they would kill him if he kept talking about 'The World of Forms' but it could relate to when Socrates was killed after he thought he should be the leader in society
