The Warrior's Cave: Summary

To begin, the Duke is displayed to be a corrupt leader. His tyrannical ways and ideas of solving problems in his life are preposterous. The Duke is enraged that his wife shows flirtatious expressions to other men that show kindness towards her. The Duchess is killed because the Duke becomes frustrated with her actions “This grew; I gave commands; Then all smiles stopped together” (Browning line 45-46). This portrays the Duke’s tyrannical ways, he demands her to stop, but she ignores him, therefore the Duke decides to kill his wife. According to Robert Reese, “The Duchess smiles to the other men aroused an anger in the Duke so powerful that he gave commands to have her killed”. The Duke of Ferrara considers himself superior to others and above laws and morality. He feels he can do anything he desires without serving any sort of punishment.

In Book 7 of Plato’s Republic, "The Allegory of the Cave” is a symbolic story of which there are prisoners in a cave with a fire that is located behind them. They have always faced the wall of the cave and have only seen what was outside of the cave from the shadows. They believe that the shadows of the objects carried are real, but in reality, it 's just a shadow of the truth. The prisoners play a game where they guess what the shadows are and end up believing that it is the truth. However, when one prisoner escapes and faces reality, where the sun is a source of life, he realizes that the game was pointless. He seeks for meaning and truth from his journey outside of the cave. Socrates then insists that he must return to the cave and share what he has found with the prisoners because it will benefit everyone as a whole. However, when he returns and informs the prisoners, they react by not believing him and threatening to kill him if he set them free, because they are scared of the change that would occur after knowing the truth. Socrates believes that knowledge gained through senses is no more than an opinion. True knowledge is gained through reasoning and understanding. The allegory could symbolize positivity in modern American society.

We grow up with stories told to us by our parents, our grandparents, sisters or brothers, and friends. Stories of love, of tragedy, stories that convey warnings, or some other moral or truth. There are even stories we tell others, but aren't sure how we learned them. Then there are the stories that we read as we grow older, and the stories we watch on television. Whether realized or not, the stories we read and see bear similarities to the stories we were learned as children. They reveal the same moral, give a warning not to make a particular mistake, or speak of the same type of love. Sometimes stories even follow the same plot as other narratives. Psychologist Carl G. Jung asserted that there are recurring “archetypes”
