Answer:

The “ Allegory of the Cave” is an extended metaphor of sorts that helps Plato illustrate his theory of the forms and argue that it is only with an application of philosophical reasoning that humans can begin to access truth. The cave that the prisoners are trapped in represents the superficial material world that human beings are born into.
