For those who read ‘The Allegory of the Cave’ …?

What is the relationship between Socrates and Glaucon? Are they equal in intellectual authority? Are they concerned with the same issues?

How does the allegory of the prisoners in the cave watching shadows on a wall relate to us today? What are the shadows that we see and how do they distort our sense of what is real?

Are we also prisoners in the sense that Plato’s characters are prisoners?
