 | | As for the interrogation scene where Agent Smith insults Morpheus, it seemed to me to be bravado on his part, a screed agaisnt the diversity of the crew, which they put lie to with their daring rescue and subsequent defeat of the agents. |
 | | As for Morpheus, the reference I saw in his name was to the Greco-Roman god of sleep and of dreams, which fits in perfectly with idea in the Matrix (taken, apparently, from Buddhism) that the "real" world is an illusion. |
 | | For Morpheus, the Greek god, is in some sense the keeper or owner of dreams, which is at odds with what Morpheus, the character in the movie, ostensibly seeks to accomplish via the red pill, which is to wake people up from the dream or illusion that is the Matrix. |
