The Allegory of the Cave...

The Allegory of the Cave is a story about people that spend all of their lives in a "cave" and only knows part of the truth which is an illusion. In connection to the Matrix, both have the same idea of living in a life that is a lie and finding the harsh reality later on. For example, in the scene where Neo for the first time meet and speak with Morpheus, where Morpheus briefly explains what is the"Matrix" which he stated "the Matrix is a world that was pulled over your eyes". Also, both stories have situations that someone is forcing people to see one thing instead of the reality and making them live in a small box instead of living outside of the box and accept it.
