Eduncle Best Answer
Plato believed that there were two distinct worlds, and those worlds provide the framework from which his theory of Forms is built. Plato, in his allegory of the cave uses the cave itself and everything inside the cave as a metaphor to provide persuasive support for the material, illusionistic world or senses. Plato believed that the material world is subject to a constant state of flux making it is impossible to know the truth of reality. Plato states that it is 'ourselves' who live in this material world. Our world, Plato likens to a cave, and we in the allegory are presented as the prisoners chained inside, who live in a material world of illusion which we think is real and important. The cave represents our own imperfect and changing experiences. The chains that constrain "us," the prisoners, represent our false beliefs which obstruct our understanding of true reality. Thus, it is we who stare at our 'own shadows, or the shadows of one another. In his allegory, everything outside the cave is portrayed as the eternal world, which possesses the object of knowledge and contains the true perfect world of the Forms.
