In the texts we have just read today and the movie “The Matrix”. They have very few differences and similarities.
Lets look first on how they both are similar too eachother. In the play we just read they have similar characters who have similar roles in eaach the movie and the play. For instance, teiresias is like the oracle in the matrix, she has the ability too know whats next too happen and able too tell you where and when he or she will meet his down fall.they both are written after the greek mythology, and the all result or answer too a higher calling. Too be bliss in what sme called happiness, means too be happy in a world and have no knowledge of what really is going on around you. In the movie the matrix, Neo is living what he thinks is a ordinary life, but in all actuality he is being located too save the wprld, from a computer havker too the savior of the world is a sure way too be living in bliss. It must be hard being able too take on that responsibilty.but in the play they have a very similar plot but in a different atmosphere. In the play we have jjust read, Oedipus is the son of the king and he is put too be killed in the beginning of the m,ovie but faith which you cannot escape (once again we can say these are similarities because the oracle in the matrix tells neo faith is something you cant escape) the messenger sends him too another town and he is raised by the next towns king and queen. When he grows up he goes too see the oracle and she tells him everything he needs too know, but what he is told can he escape this awful thing he told nope. Its his destiny.
