For this week’s skill-building activity, let’s begin by taking a closer look at Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave.” In a few paragraphs, discuss the following:

1. In your own words, briefly describe the scenario Plato depicts in his allegory. Consider the following questions as you explain the allegory: for example, what happens to a person when first emerging from the cave? How do others respond to those who try to leave the cave? What does the light (and/or the darkness) symbolize? How can knowledge be painful, and ignorance comforting?

2. How might ‘The Allegory of the Cave’ be relevant in today’s world? Or, how might it relate to your personal professional life?  

Your completed response should be at least 250-300 words and do the following: 

  • incorporate at least one direct quote from the literary text
  • correctly introduce the quote, and provide an in-text parenthetical citation afterwards
  • include a works cited entry for “The Allegory of the Cave” at the bottom of your response
