Morpheus

Morpheus shares the same name as the Greek God of dreams. Morpheus is the man to shatter dream world that it is the matrix, freeing Neo from his mental prison. Neo’s last name, Anderson is from the Greek word Andros which means man, and the Greek God of dreams is associated with the man’s dreams. Morpheus is a very dynamic character who can be seen a God-like father figure, while also reminding audiences of Satan. The red pill, in a biblical sense, is a forbidden fruit, while Morpheus is the one offering it to Neo, Trinity and other real-worlders.
