              1. All that the prisoners see and hear, are indistinct voices and shadows , this is all they have ever seen and heard and all they talk about
              2. 6. One day, prisoner is freed from chains, compelled to stand, turn around and look towards the fire, brightness of fire is so much that he cannot see anything else
