Read the passage from "Allegory of the Cave."
Socrates: And now, let me show in a figure how far our
nature is enlightened or unenlightened: - Behold! human
beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth
open towards the light and reaching all along the den;
here they have been from their childhood, and have their
legs and necks chained so that they cannot move, and
can only see before them, being prevented by the chains
from turning round their heads. Above and behind them a
fire is blazing at a distance, and between the fire and the
prisoners there is a raised way; and you will see, if you
look, a low wall built along the way, like the screen which
marionette players have in front of them, over which they
show the puppets.
What is the purpose of describing human beings as
living in an underground den?
O to show that many people live their lives in terrible
physical conditions
to use imagery to suggest that people are trapped by
their perceptions and prevented from understanding
reality
O to show that people depend on others like the players
to describe reality
to use imagery to show that people must change their
governments to escape their misunderstanding of
reality
Ok
