Plato in "The Allegory of the Cave" teaches you a lesson along with the character and that's what Sartre did in "No Exit". Like for example (totally lost my train of thought)
What also makes "No Exit" and "The Allegory of the Cave" similar is that they have characters that are trapped, like the residents in the cave are shackled up and Garcin is trapped in a room in hell to prove a point. And in "No Exit" Sartre tries to prove a point in saying don't listen to others and try and prove them wrong, just listen to yourself. I think that's what Plato was saying to the prisoner broke free and started to listen to himself.
