Discuss the questions:

• Who plays the role of the mentor, ally, trickster, shapeshifter and shadow, and what impact do they have on Neo’s journey?

• What are some of the trials or challenges Neo faces? How do they help him grow?

• What is the Death and Rebirth moment in the story? How does Neo overcome it?

• How does Neo change by the end of the film? What does his Return look like?

• How do the choices Neo makes reflect the theme of free will vs. fate?

• What role does belief play in Neo’s transformation? How is this shown visually or through dialogue?

• What moral lesson do you think the authors of The Matrix wanted to share? And what lessons from Neo’s journey could you apply to your own life?
