The passege the Allegory of the Cave talks about prisoners that were living in a cave since their childhood, having their legs and necks chained as if they were slaves excluded from their rights so that they couldn't either move or, see what was behind them. Furthermore, they were prevented by the chains from turning round their heads, which means that they were living in a world of illusions where they didn't know about the real world outside the darkness that waited for them outside. In fact, as the story went by, it explained that one the prisoners got out from the cave and discovered that the world he used to live in under the ground was only an illution of what he thought the real world looked like.So when the man saw the light outside of the cave, he couldn't see anything for awhile because the man was living in the dark almost for his entire life. After the man was capable to open his eyes, he couldn't believe in what he was seeing because he never imagined that the life he was living in the cave was just a lie. he didn't want to want to go back to the cave after all.
