I found "Allegory of the Cave" and " No Exit" to be very similar. Both talked about how humans think in terms of life and what is to be real and expected.
Plato described humans as ignorant human beings, saying that whatever we saw must be real, even though they are merely shadows. Yet, Satre described humans as ignorant in the sense that they think they need physical objects to "torture" them. When in reality, people just torture themselves with their thoughts and other people around them. Both of their extended metaphors give enlightenment on hard complex ideas and make them easier to follow and understand.
