The prisoners in the cave are exactly like Mildred. Both people were censored, but in different ways. The people were censored from everything; they were protected from everything besides shadows of animals and other things. This is like Mildred, for one, because she was censored from books, two, she was censored from a real life. Neither of them knew the real meaning of a life, neither of them knew the truth of the world, neither of them ever had any stimulant. Both of them are ignorant, both of them have never been in a real world. The people in The Simile of the Cave would be afraid of the real world, they would only look at shadows and reflections because they were afraid anything that isn’t “real”. This is like Mildred because she is afraid what makes common life, she is afraid of everything except the parlor games.
Goodbye
