The expanded allegory of "power and glory" Graham Greene summarized his personal memoirs "power and glory" in 1940 after a three year trip to Mexico. According to his own observations on a small town between secular government anti - religious law and people 's religious beliefs, Green is a policeman who follows a Catholic priest to explain the conflicting relationship between the church and the country I made a story of -4). Green exploited his experience in Mexico and created an extended fable explaining the conflict between the two world views. And it reveals his own value and philosophy.

Fables express abstract concepts and principles through characters, characters, or events in the form of stories, plays, or pictures.

Compare the movie 'Matrix' with Plato's cave fables. The fable of the cave is one of the most famous works of Greek philosopher Plato. This is an extended allegory that humans are portrayed by their bodies, and they can only be perceived visually. In the cave fable, Plato does not always want to show that reality is reality. Since childhood, groups of prisoners are trapped in caves, each prisoner has been bound by their head. Some may think that it has nothing to do with today's society.

Due to our lifestyle, sometimes we face the walls of our cave and may completely forget the truth about our country and the world around us.
