Logic IV 37
I am inclined to think that the Protagoras is an account of a real conversation although it was not believed to be so in antiquity. At any rate it appears to me that we have here a representation of the historical Socrates and historical Protagoras and that we are not to look to this dialogue for Plato's opinions.

Book I of the Republic though an exquisite work of art does not much concern us being occupied mainly in showing that there is such a thing as justic and that is very unlike the constitution of the Athenian state. Toward the end there is an argument from analogy to show that the soul has an end and among these besides superintending, commanding, deliberating, etc. life is particularly specified as an end of the soul.
