The story of the "The Allegory of the Cave"

As you all read the two stories, which I only read one, it starts of as an experiment on humans. It states that humans, kept in a long period of time such as childhood and on, will ether keep quiet or expressed his emotions. Being chained and shackle of all parts including his can not turn around but to look ahead will see his shadow. By this, it causes the human mind to venture out and see that the shadow as a companion. Once set free, he will seek out things he did not see as looking back and seeing the shadows that were caused by the fire. This will venture out as a illusion to see if one can see thge creator of life and the creator of ligth.
