"An Exploration of Plato's Allegory of the Cave through a Comic Book City"
Script
Imagine a comic book city where the citizens are trapped in a world of illusions, similar to Plato's Allegory of the Cave. The citizens, or Prisoners, believe the shadows on the cave wall are reality, never questioning the true nature of their existence. In Act One, we're introduced to our protagonist who begins to question the shadows and eventually escapes the cave, discovering the true world outside. In Act Two, our hero returns to the cave to enlighten the other Prisoners, but they're resistant to change, illustrating the difficulty of accepting new knowledge and the fear of the unknown. As our hero reflects on his journey, he realizes the city's corruption is rooted in its dependence on illusions.
