Crito follows the imprisoned Socrates as his friend Crito offers money, practical help, and protection abroad to help him escape execution, while Socrates examines whether escape is just. Its main themes are justice before survival, civic obligation, and the refusal to repay harm with evil, explored through Socrates' refusal and his imagined voice of the laws.
짧게 보는 줄거리
The prison guard admits Crito early because he knows him and receives a favor. Socrates is imprisoned and faces execution; a woman in his dream announces his arrival at Phthia. Crito urges him to escape, offering money, practical help, and protection abroad. Simmias of Thebes brings a large sum, and Crito names Cebes among those ready to finance the escape. Crito also says small payments can satisfy the informers despite the risks to those helping.
Socrates tests the proposed escape against justice and civic duty rather than accepting Crito's practical help. He argues that people must not retaliate or repay harm with evil. He gives the laws an imagined voice that defends civic obedience and condemns escape. The Athenians' consent also matters to his examination of whether leaving prison is right. He refuses escape because he judges it unjust, and closes by choosing to follow divine direction. 15분 요약 읽기.

등장인물
Socrates

주제
Justice before survival
Crito offers practical ways to escape execution, but Socrates refuses because he judges escape unjust. Their disagreement shows that a means of survival does not settle the moral question of whether it should be used.
Civic obligation
The imagined voice of the laws defends civic obedience and condemns escape, while the Athenians' consent matters to Socrates' examination. Together, these points show that leaving prison raises obligations beyond the prisoner's own wish to leave.
Reason against opinion
This contrast suggests that another person's conviction and helpfulness cannot replace examination of whether a proposed action is right.
Refusing retaliation
Socrates argues that suffering harm does not justify retaliating or repaying anyone with evil. Alongside his refusal of an escape he judges unjust, this principle shows that being harmed does not remove responsibility for one's own actions.
