"It is interesting to note that the writer of the allegory combines the effect of 'eating' fiction with the victims self-recognition of its nakedness. So the allegory is a sexual story then, isn't it? The term nakedness may have referred to the circumcision. The subject appears to have been a critical one in early times. The priests may have demanded the circumcision in ancient times of both men and women, and called this demand wisdom. The patriarch Abraham is said to have demanded it of all the men. But when the deed was done, most likely the victims could only see a gaunt nakedness. Something vital was suddenly missing. The loss had cut so deep that it had felt like a curse, because the loss that had been incurred could never be recovered. The victims of such a loss would live self-condemned, cursing their own stupidity, by which they had exiled themselves to a lower state of existence, a more primitive state of existence with no chance of going back.
