So i've seen a few of these and i always try to help but this time its me who needs it.

I have a paper due on Monday for my philosophy class. It concerns finding a story that relates to the allegory of the cave by plato.

Problem is i cant think of any stories with these steps:

Inside the cave
Release from the cave
Return to the cave

People used people believing in Santa Clause but i don't want to copy that.
I'm really hoping someone here has read it before.
PLEASE NS HELP ME!

+K to any good ideas

If it doesn't have to be a modern story, then you could go with either Beowulf, using Grendel, or the story "Grendel" itself. Where Grendel has spent it's life in a cave with it's mother and is released to reek havoc. But once mortally wounded returns to the cave and dies.

It's been a while since I've read either of those, so I may be wrong, but hope it helped.
