Thinking Outside The Box

Both Plato and Sartre had similar ways of sharing a story of enlightenment or thinking. Both stories have a location that is meant to be a metaphor. In "The Allegory Of The Cave", the cave and the shackles are representing the modern way of learning, and how we're supposed to take in what an instructor wants us to learn, later seeing the light means that we go outside the lines and put things in our own perspective. In "No Exit", the location that the main characters meet themselves in is supposed to represent Hell, and the characters having to figure out that they're actually in Hell.
