I'd say the easiest way to understand it as an allegory is to go ahead and make the direct correlations between it and Plato's Allegory of the Cave. In both cases we have a prisoner who becomes unchained and ascends out of the darkness and into the light. In both cases the light represents the truth. Both freed persons also feel an obligation to go back and educate those who remain in the darkness.
