While reading “Allegory of The Cave”, Plato told the story of the humans  who were bound to chains in a cave and had no knowledge of the outside world, they only had each other to get their knowledge from but they all knew equally as much as the next did. In the cave shadows appeared on the wall and those who were bound to those chains had their own idea of what these shadows were. I noticed that while this was a story about humans only having limited knowledge, this story  touches on a broader topic being the ignorance of humanity trapped in the conventional ethics formed by society. The story shifts its focus from the people in the cave to a person who ventures out the cave and discovers a bigger truth. It was very daunting for the person to come to terms with because he was learning about a whole new world that is all the more different from the one they had experienced for as long as he can remember.  When he goes back to tell the other prisons who had stood in the cave of his findings it is met with adversity and the prisoners become enraged because in a way it was very hard for them to imagine anything that was not close to the information they had gotten accustomed to.  This story really interested me because it explained a really broad topic in a way that would allow everyone to understand and see how ignorance can plague people so much to the point of not wanting to believe that there may be a larger truth out there.
