Trinity as the real hero.


  To be honest I was quiet dissapointed with this artical, Other than stateing some clear evidence it didnt really do much but state the obvious. 
and jump around alot..

  The artical begins with a summary and comparison of "The Truman Show" to "The Matrix" it then goes into referencesto Neo's God-like status as the savior of humankind. Also a Comparison between him andt 'Alice' of Lewis Carroll's stories. Finally, after about 8 pages he gets into a breif anaylisis of Trinity saying...

" In part it is the film's focus on feminine narratives that leads me to believe that Trinity, not Neo (whom most would identify as the hero of the Matrix), is the film's hero. Her very name suggests an inversion of basic cultural assumptions and expectations. 
Trinity takes her name from a God most decidedly masculine"

   It then jumps into Neo and his realization that he is "the one" discusses the sequence of actions that lead to this enlightenment. After about 3 pages of that he turns back to Trinity, how she is the true hero in that only through her kiss and HER realization that she was in love with "the one", Neo comes back to life. (as the oracle once told her)       

  The artical ends with a page about cypher which was totally random...
