- Socrates is a hero because he doesn't lead by dictation
- Theme is to determine or show "how far nature is enlightened and unenlightened"
- Glaucon is a prop for Socrates
- Plato is writing this to document Socrates' ideas
- Three stages are belief, understanding, and imagination
- Cave is an illustration of something we deal with
- Everything we know about Socrates' has come from Plato
