According to Hero Journey the monomyth, Neo is the hero is the story, he is leading a double life. Neo is dissatisfied with his existence, and, while he's groping for a meaning to it, he is contacted by a mysterious computer presence known as Morpheus(call to advanture). "Wake up Neo," a printout on his monitor screen reads. "The Matrix has you. Follow the white rabbit."(departure) And so begins an amazing odyssey for both Neo and the audience. It turns out that Morpheus(allies) is the captain of a small space ship(meet the mentor), and he believes that Neo is a messianic figure. When the two meet(cross the threshold), The reality he is used to is a fabrication, the product of a sinister race of intelligent machines that use human beings as power supplies, to be discarded at will(tests). Neo is dubious, and Morpheus sets out to show him the truth. Soon, he is learning how to manipulate the Matrix（learn a superpower): a computer-generated dreamworld built by the machines to control human minds. But danger lurks ahead for Morpheus and his small band of followers. The goal of the machines is to eliminate all free humans, and their most powerful weapons, the Sentient Agents, are closing in. Led by Agent Smith, their goal is to capture Morpheus and pry the secrets from his brain(obstacles). Just before reaching another exit, he is ambush and killed by Agent Smith(death). Trinity, who is standing over Neo in the real world, whispers that the Oracle told her she would fall in love with the One. She kisses Neo and restores his life(rebirth). Neo revives with new power to perceive and control the Matrix, and effortlessly destroys Agent Smith. The last stage is the stage of Return. This film ends with Neo returns in the Matrix, making a telephone call promising that he will demonstrate to the people imprisoned in the Matrix that "anything is possible." He hangs up the phone and flies into the sky. As the last stage of hero's journey explains that Neo obtain the victory in this film but he continues his journey by accepting a new task whereby applying the cycle concept of the Hero's journey.
According to the Plato's The
Allegory of the Cave theory as what believe exactly what they are told by the Morpheus (i.e puppet-handlers), Neo (one of the prisoners who leave the
cave（the Matrix) say in the end of the he is going to demonstrate to
the people who imprisoned(prisoner in the cave) in the Matrix that "anything is possible"(the truth). The whole things is occurs in the cave which is represent by the Matrix. Those people who is imprisoned inside this simulated
reality of the world. But this is also the world which Neo has been
living since his birth. Neo represent one of the prisoner who leave the
cave. As soon as Neo and the others leave this world he realize the
truth behind this world, He is going back to the Matrix to the prisoner
in the Matrix "anything is possible".
