The Matrix is related to three major stages of monomyth :
Departure- Neo is awakened by his computer, he is called to follow the white rabbit. Neo meets Trinity says the Matrix will find an answer for him. Neo refuses to risk his life on avoiding the agents then he is arrested by them. After he is saved, Neo takes Morpheus’ pills. He go through the rebirth process and enter a new world.
Initiation- Neo undergoes trial and training to explore his potential. He starts his hero’s journey after he met the Oracle, and get her prophecy. Neo fights together with his crew member along the journey. But betrayed happen. Neo chooses to die so that reaching a higher purpose in order to rescue Morpheus.
Return- Neo wakes up from the matrix programme and returns to the real world. He revives with new power to perceive and control the Matrix. Neo is The One now. Neo is going to show all the people that anything is possible.
Plato’s Allegory of the Cave:
People live in the matrix is same as prisoner inside the cave. They believe that the 'shadow' that they saw was the reality. Prisoner inside the cave is facing to the wall for a long time, so they did not aware that that is just a shadow cast by man. Same as people in Matrix, they live in a world under control of intelligent machines. They just saw what is provided by inside the matrix but they never aware that it was fake.
