terms of the human experience‚ Plato’s Allegory of the Cave reveals that most humans would rather know the truth and suffer rather than be fed a lie for their entire lives. This idea is reflected in Sophocles’’ Oedipus the King because Oedipus seeks the truth and suffers greatly when it is found. Plato’s four stages of awareness are necessary for the final form of the good‚ which is the truth‚ to be found.

I believe that knowledge is power and ignorance is bliss. Without knowledge one cannot get ahead in life. We were born to learn and thrive educationally. Staying ignorant is almost like going against human nature. It is often what hurts us the most that teaches us the greatest lessons.

Truth is an important theme in both Oedipus and the Outsider as it changes the fate for both of the characters. I will talk about how the characters find out about the truth.
