Summary of Allegory Of The Cave

Today I am writing a summary about the passage Allegory of the cave.The story is about a man telling a story about human beings being chained to their necks in a cave with their backs toward the opening of the cave. The people in the cave had the mind set of being locked in darkness is the way of life all they were able to see was shadows of living objects and things moving outside the cave. One man gets free and leaves the cave he know realizes that being chained in the cave was not the way of life he witnesses many things for the first time. He even realizes that the sun is what gives us energy. This man witnesses the beautiful world and realizes that the cave is not the way of life, so he decides to return back to the cave to get the other men in the cave but they refuse to leave the cave. They feel that this is what is life for them and they preferred to stay in the dark cave.
