As one whose only reality is cast in shadows depicted upon a wall… “but in a fiction, a dream of passion”… intangible nonetheless: very safe and left alone by others in the cave who know only thins cave and shadows as their reality. But once he(Plato, as metaphysical observer of himself)is brought up from the cave into the light. He is faced with reality: the tangible, the real things: “pressure and form in the physical sense experience,” upon his return with this new found information. It is no longer safe for him. And the first thing the others would try to do is kill him.
