essay #1

After I saw the movie "The Matrix," I started thinking how this movie can be based on the Greek mythology.  In Greek mythology there is a God named Morpheus who is the God of dreams. Morpheus sends images of humans in dreams or visions, and he is responsible for shaping dreams, or giving shape to the beings that inhabit dreams and manipulate reality.  Also we can say that the movie, "The Matrix",  is based on Allegory of The Cave which Socrates and Plato are discussing what real is and not.  Also when Socrates’ visit to the oracle of Delphi, and Socrates said that he knew nothing and Oracle said that he was the wisest man on earth, but the end Socrates understood her ironing meaning.  Neo is Socrates, who is willing to admit to his own ignorance, and the Oracle in the Matrix films maintains her confidence in him and his abilities despite his often-visible confusion and doubt.
