the Matrix mainframe. If an Agent were to kill these rebels within the mainframe, it would kill their minds, which in turn, would kill their bodies. As Trinity puts it to Neo, "the body can't exist without the brain."Many struggles continue throughout the movie. The overall goal is to destroy The Matrix, and in all prior attempts, Morpheus and his rebels have been unable to beat the agents. Neo, who is the savior in the story (notice the clever anagram Neo=One), has to come to terms with the fact that his true reality is much different than the Matrix's.

This implies that Neo has never really seen anything, and it is his cathartic journey into really seeing the world that ultimately destroys the Matrix. The first underlying structure of "The Matrix" is that of a modern-day, biblical parable.

This love brings new understanding to Neo, who then is able to see the Matrix for what it really is, a code. He then breaks the code, destroying the system.The biblical parallels continue, but rather than delving deeper into the structure of the Matrix, ...
