Matrix

Matrix The Matrix In Plato’s Republic the Allegory of the Cave is a story, which is very similar to the storyline of Matrix. In the Allegory of the Cave, there are men who are prisoners in a cave that have been there their whole life. They face a wall and only see shadows from the objects, such as men or materials, crossing in back of them. Then one of the prisoners is freed and able to walk around. Once this ex-prisoner left the cave his eyes would ache from never seeing sunlight, but he would adjust. He would understand that there was another world out there, besides the shadows reflected on the wall. Neo is a computer hacker in the real world. He is taken out of this real world and into the Matrix, where he learns the Matrix is a computer simulation. Neo discovers that he has been a prisoner, stuck in a container, his whole life. Neo resembles the ex-prisoner in Plato’s Republic because for one they are both prisoners their whole life. They both also walked outside of the cave. “The Allegory of the Cave illustrates the road we must neo, matrix, world, cave, real, morpheus, images, forms, one, life, form, allegory, whole, wall, understand, training, shadows, scene, reflected, reality, program, prisoners, out, because, woman, weight, walk, ultimate, things, telling, spoon, size, separate, republic
