Plato’s cave was about giving seeing the shadows and hearing the object behind the prisoners that are staring at the wall. Susan Sontag uses the metaphor of Plato’s cave to describes how the role of photography compares itself to life. Sontag talks about how photography give us a way to look at the world through images. Photography gives us a way to see the world in different perspectives and to also experiencing the moment from what we observe from the image itself.
