Yeah, I've often refered to Morpheus as both prophet and deciple.
I, too, wondered about names. That almost all of the characters chose these names for themselves reveals a lot about each character (or should). We've done the same thing here, assinging handles or IDs to ourselves that are meaningful to us (and often have to be explained to others
) but rarely sound like names at all. Names like Morpheus and Niobe, taken from human mythology, were probably chosen by these characters because there was some aspect about the mythological figure that the person identified with. So Morpheus probably was quite the dreamer even before he became aware of the Matrix. (And it's probably obvious that I don't mind it when threads change angles.)
And speaking of mythology, did you guys catch my line about Nemesis?
Quote:
Speaking of mythology, I loved this little entry:
Nemesis: Goddess of destiny; alias Adrasteia, "the inevitable"
Sound like anyone we know? (Disregarding the gender bias, anyway.) |
Maybe it's more obvious if I state it this way: Neo's
Nemesis is an integral part of his
destiny and loves to use the word
inevitable. Now does it sound familiar? :naughty:
