In Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, human beings live all their lives in an underground cave with their legs and necks chained so that they cannot move or turn their heads. They can only see their own shadows, or the shadows of one another, which a fire, blazing behind them, scatters across the cave wall.
Jean teaches the Allegory in the UW-Odyssey Project, a humanities course which offers hope to people living at the margins. Three years ago she began teaching the Allegory in Wisconsin prisons. A more powerful transformational text can hardly be imagined. Odyssey students identify readily with the plight of prisoners shackled and fettered and kept underground all their lives.
