THE IMPORTANCE OF NAMES IN THE MATRIX
MORPHEUS - The name Morpheus is that of the god of dreams in Greek
mythology, in the movie, Morpheus is the leader of rebel forces who fights to
awaken enslaved masses from a dreamlike reality.
TRINITY - The name "Trinity" is heavily associated with Christian theology,
which states that one can receive eternal life through the Holy Trinity: the
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Trinity is also the force who revives Neo after his
death in the first film, implying a further parallel between her character and
God. Through Trinity, Neo receives eternal life.
CYPHER - THE TRAITOR - In the Bible: Judas, one of the 12 trusted
apostles, betrays Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. In the movie: The traitor is
Cypher (think 'Lucifer'), one of Morpheus' seven trusted crew members. He
betrays Morpheus over a steak dinner (so he can be rebooted into the matrix).
APOC – Short for apocalypse? An Apocalypse ("lifting of the veil" or
"revelation") is a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind
in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception. Therefore, Apoc
represents he who reveals or lifts the veil.
