In both Plato and Sartre writing there is a
metaphor that helps enforce the idea of limitation in our own thinking. For example,
in Plato he uses the metaphor of the Cave to show the limited resources that
the people have in the cave. The people in the cave are clueless that there is life
outside the cave because they aren’t very knowledgeable. They don’t understand where
they are at and what a cave really is. Same idea with Sartre, the metaphor
being used is hell. In the play the characters don’t really know what the room
is and they don’t know what actions to take. In both writings they are stuck in
the unknown because of their limitation in their thoughts.
good job i agree with you on the comparison of the settings of both being that the characters did not know what else was past their room or cave
ReplyDeleteHey I agree with you too. Both have the idea that their imprisonment limits thinking.
ReplyDeleteI also agree on the similar themes of the characters causing they're own imprisonment good job :)
