Document Summary
In plato"s apology socrates is given the opportunity during his trial to plead to the jury why he is not at fault and therefore should not be punished. In order to do this socrates goes through each of his acquisitions and gives his side of the story, and through this a better understanding of. Socrates"s personality is gathered and we begin to see who socrates is. Socrates"s trial i will present you with the conclusion that he is an arrogant man who thinks very highly of himself. This becomes apparent during his appearance in front of the jury as he is constantly proclaiming that he has greater wisdom then everyone. This is very will illustrated in his behaviour toward the people of athens as he is always questioning their wisdom as well as his responses to the questions being posed upon him by the jury.
