The paper adresses the question of how the relation between line and cave has to be understood, particularly how the low parts of the two images were related. Having examined the shadows and the puppets in the cave, its final thesis is that Plato’s main point is to contrast three states of soul (represented by the prisoner, the ex-prisoner inside the cave and the ex-prisoner ascending out of the cave), from the point of view of their readiness to accomplish the true educational process; the line is tacitly recalled in the cave only as the ascent for the third type of soul.

Abstract
The paper adresses the question of how the relation between line and cave has to be understood, particularly how the low parts of the two images were related. Having examined the shadows and the puppets in the cave, its final thesis is that Plato’s main point is to contrast three states of soul (represented by the prisoner, the ex-prisoner inside the cave and the ex-prisoner ascending out of the cave), from the point of view of their readiness to accomplish the true educational process; the line is tacitly recalled in the cave only as the ascent for the third type of soul.
