Essay 1: A Comparison with the Allegory of the Cave & the Upper World

In a minimum of 800 words (3 pages double spaced, feel free to go over) compare and contrast the allegory of the cave and the upper world to ONE of the following categories:

Either (A), a fictional story (such as the Truman Show, the Matrix, 1984, Animal Farm, Dark City, City of Ember, The Cave by José Saramago, Room by Emma Donoghue, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, etc., or any other fictional comparison of your choice you believe is appropriate).

Or (B), something outside of the Republic other than a fictional story (the phenomenon of social media, Galileo’s break from Aristotelean science, an advancement in technology/art/creativity/ideas, etc.).

Or (C), to an experience in your own life. (A self-realization, a personal learning experience, a religious or spiritual experience, one’s experience of AA, NA, the experience of living some place new, the insight of a breakthrough idea in science/technology/industry, any learning experience where you can see a difference from where you once were to where you are now, etc.).

Be sure to include all of the following aspects in your comparison:

1. the 4 cognitive levels as distinguished by the divided line in book VI (image-thinking, belief, understanding, knowledge)
2. the prisoners in the cave who have been placed there since childhood
3. the fetters around their necks such that they are not able to ‘see’ one another but only hear the words they speak
4. the shadows on the cave wall
5. the shadows of the prisoners themselves
6. the objects above the wall that project the shadows
7. the fire light in the cave
8. the opening to the upper world from the cave and the rough ascent to get there
9. the upper world at night
10. the upper world in the day.
