Platos book is a classic that goes deep into the philosophical thought of forced education or freedom for anarchy, and this is a very easily interpreted book it has a million messages that the reader can intercept, but through my lens I perceive it as a dialogue between two people discussing the nature of this cave, and the idea of education pops up into my mind because the slaves attached to the wall don’t just how slaves they can represent us, being forced to look at shadows or being forced to learn what our teachers tell us based on what the government tells them to teach us, this is just one interpretation there are hundreds more but that is my take on it
