The Matrix Trilogy: A Parable for Our Lives
ByScott Krishel

The Matrix Trilogy can serve as an inspiration and teaching for improving our lives. This essay will explore the parable based on two scenes. From The Matrix, the scene of Neo waking up in a pod of human crops and then being “born” into the real world. From The Matrix Revolutions, Neo going to the Machine Source and the final battle between Neo and Agent Smith.

Humans Asleep in Pods
Being asleep in a pod, unaware of the true nature of reality or life is a powerful metaphor to our actual existence. The Machines and the Matrix represent the mind and all the characters in the trilogy represent different aspects of Neo.

deep man. maybe this is the explanation of life, of why we live, or simply we live because we choose to.

I always knew it was a parable for our lives, and this is why i get so freakin' pissed at Matrix "fans" who go for the effects. Damn you all!

Nice essay, btw. :)

so could the choice not to live, make us spontaneously die? or would it be like suicide?
