The Cave by Jose Saramago

Number of Pages 3

This essay pertains to The Cave by Jose Saramago and presents the interpretation that the author stresses the similarities between the Center, a huge commercial shopping complex, and the allegory presented in Plato's cave. The writer feels that Saramago is arguing that life within the Center is no more real than the flickering shadows that constituted reality in Plato's cave. Three pages in length, only the novel is cited.
