the Allegory of the Cave

okay so the deal is, i'm reading this currently and while i understand that it's all a huge extended metaphor for something, i'm not exactly sure of all of it. i'm not going to post up my thoughts right now because i've not gotten them all together, but if you've read this piece and have some kinds of thoughts to share, i definitely wouldn't mind hearing them.

Save yourself the boredom of reading Plato by watching "The Matrix" instead.  Then you can write a report about it that includes things like Deja Vu and Agents.  Your teacher will fucking flip.
