Plato can be difficult to read since it's more of a conversation than anything else.  It's best to handle it in sections and take notes as you go.  Remember: dialectic (the focus of the Socratic Dialogue) is one you look at something from many different perspectives and angles.  Plato's dialogues are a good example of learning through the "dialectic".  Socrates didn't "lecture" as much as ask questions.  The person who speaks with realizes they don't know what they thought they knew and must revise their answers.  Notice how the following illustrate two things combining to create something completely different.

 

• Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis (which becomes the new "Thesis")
• Red + Blue = Purple
• C + E+ G + B = createa Cmaj7th chord
• Socrates' question + Meno's response + Socrates' follow up question = Meno's new response = Socrates' next question (and so on)

Post your responses to the following questions on the dialogue

What is Socrates' problem with Meno's point about men, women and virtue?

What is Socrates trying to illustrate with the "bee" analogy (61)

What does Socrates mean when he asks "Is roundness shape or a shape?" (63)

What is the problem with Meno's definition of virtue as "to find joy in beautiful things and have power"? (66)

What is the circular logical flaw Socrates points out? (69-middle paragraph)

What is the "debater's paradox" or "paradox of inquiry"? (70)

What does Socrates illustrate with the slave boy and geometry?

 

problem with Meno's point about men is about the rulings of men that has only one specification and that is only for them while in women Meno said that since a woman is the one who manages the house it is just right for all the women to do this also wherein Socrates greatly opposes because he believes that virtue should not only have one in common but rather identifying first its nature. 

For instance, a man and woman that is being compared because of the different strength they can give but Socrates tells us that we shouldn't focus on the differences of them both but rather strength should be applied fairly for them both. Lastly, about virtue which he opposes also for the definition of virtue should not be just solely focused on a specific thing but rather looking closely to the different virtues. 

1. Socrates is trying to illustrate the "bee" analogy in terms of relating virtue's definition by the bee term wherein it is all about being united. Bees has different classifications but we still call them all as bee. He used it for us to be aware that there are different classifications of bee that makes them different from each other which is related to our virtues in life and makes us be mindful of the different things that surrounds us. 

1. Socrates' wants us to learn about "Is roundness shape or a shape" is that even if it it differ to its size whether it is round, circle or square that still belongs to shape wherein they differ from each other but still has that one substance that makes them connected with each other. 

1. The problem with Meno's definition of virtue as "to find joy in beautiful things and have power" is he only focuses on the things that are good, that has a good outcome and failed to realize that everyone wants to have a good outcome or result but we cannot have the same result in the end because we differ in terms of our skills, talents and capabilities in life. The result may be good and it can also be bad so it really depends on a person's character and we should not only focus on the good for different outcomes surely come along our way.  

Step-by-step explanation

The progressive stance of Socrates stems, first and essential from the nature of this venture. For him the traditions and common famous beliefs, even of the elite class in society, those with energy, fame and wealth have no validity until they can meet the standards he puts into the dialog. However, it's quintessential to word that he is frequently successful in using his listeners into confusion (like a torpedo fish as meno says) due to the truth these listeners agree without difficulty ample with the requirements he makes use of (they think their beliefs are properly described and lifelike and for this reason get angry or forced or flustered when Socrates can lead them gently and in a well-mannered way into a paradoxical corner.)

Second revolutionary function of Socrates technique so some distance is its conversational fashion. Discussions about the truth or falsity of an opinion or the justness or injustice of an action are, for Socrates fantastic performed with the aid of question and reply in conversation.
