The Assignment:
For this topic, you are asked to examine the parallel themes and/or ideas that run across both works. Pay careful attention, for example, to John Bergers terminology (art historian, mystification, reproduction, classes & hierarchies) and seek out their counterparts in the film as represented in the characters concepts of your choosing (Neo, Morpheus, Agent Smith, Cypher, red/blue pill, AI, etcetera) or, even, the matrix itself. You need not discuss all of these, however. Think quality, not quantity. And you need not dwell in summary either, in your body paragraphs. Assume your reader knows the works well.
HOW and/or WHY do John Bergers terms from Ways of Seeing (art historian, mystification, reproduction, classes & hierarchies) run parallel with the themes and ideas present in Lilly & Lana Wachowskis The Matrix? Focus on specific characters and/or concepts from the film in your responses.
