"The Allegory of the Cave"

An allegory is a form of story or myth that can mean something totally different; not literal. Sometimes it is conveyed by language, painting, sculpture, or acted out silently (mimetic). "The Allegory of the Cave" is a story that is trying to show a message on how people in this world are imprisoned in a complex world which is the cave. The myth tells us that everything in this world bombards us with lies blinding everyone, trying to cover up the truth so everything will be a happy safe world when its really not. This kind of reminds me of how media for example, it tries to block every political thing from the world so everyone will be calm but the truth is that the government is corrupt. The allegory states that everything that we know thats the truth are really shadows of a a wall in a underground room, and if one gets enlightened by unleashing ones self free to the sun, they follow the truth which is the light. In "The Matrix" when Morphias was explaining to Neo how everything in the world is not what is seems because really it is actually the matrix, the dream world, for robots to eat them until they die out like batteries. Furthermore, the allegory and the matrix are showing us the same story but in a different twist, it all comes down to finding out the real truth.
