Thinking Outside the Box

In Allegory of the Cave, Plato describes, metaphorically, how we are limited. Also, our eyes deceive us by not allowing us to distinguish from real or fake. My remix sonnet below, explains the purpose of Plato's allegory. When a few prisoners go outside the cave, and see the extraordinary things, they rush back into the cabe. The prisoners tell the people in the cave their acknowledgments, however, the prisoners do not believe them; they believe they are foolish. All in all, we must take have goals, and we must be able to have the light (knowledge) welcome us. In No Exit by Sartre, the characters are in Hell, which there is no escape. This is to prove that once you make certain situations, you are set for life. The characters are the ones who make each other, and hell itself. At the end of No Exit, there is a vase which represents how life can be broken so easily (in my opinion.)
