The allegory of the cave is a understand that there is a group of people in a cave. There is a fire right behind them and what ever passes by the fire they see the shadow on the wall. Many years passes and they truly believe that this is the real world. One day one of the prisoner escapes from the cave and sees the real world. He sees the sun and the real world . He goes back to the cave to tell the other prisoners about the real world and how it is. Since the other prisoners are adapted to there environment they do not accept the truth.
I believe that the allegory of the cave and the Matrix are very similar. Both of the stories have two different world. One world is a elusion and it in prisons the people from the real thing. And here is a real world which is hidden from them. In both stories there was a person that escapes from the delusional world and sees the real world. In the matrix neo is chosen to be the “one”. He is the main character who is suppose to free the world and free the people. In both stories they quickly realize the difference of the two world and try to go back and free the rest of the people.
