Compare and contrast Allegory of The Cave by Plato and 1984 by George Orwell

Answer 1

The two stories, “1984” by George Orwell and Plato's “Allegory of the Cave” and “Meno's Slave” are different in settings and thematic concerns but converge on the issue of the conduct of the characters and their focus on reality. Orwell tells the story of Winston Smith who lives in London, Oceania.
