Please Help- Narcissus?

What are the similarities between Neo (from the Matrix) and Narcissus?


------


I need to write 1 page on this and I only have 1 paragraph. 2 similarities that I found were that they both have female figures who watch them from the "side lines" (Narcissus has Echo, and Neo has Trinity). Also that they are both unaware of themselves and eventually fall into the underworld allowing them to be free and aware.





PLEASE Help me get some more examples to write another paragraph - or help me add to what I have so I can make 1 page!


Thank you so much! : )

Normally I would take the teacher's side but in this case I officially declare your teacher totally wierd if they made up this question themselves!





Like I love SF%26amp;F as well as mythology but comparing Neo to Narcissus? That's just so NOT right!





You have my sympathies!





If I was asking a class to compare a myth to a movie or media figure I would have picked something simpler and easier.





I would have asked a question like compare Kirby's Eternals to the Olympian gods or compare Troy the Movie to the original Iliad but compare Neo to Narcissus? Ack!
Reply:I don't see a comparison. Narcissus was totally self involved and loved no one as much as himself. He eventually got caught by his own reflection and starved to death rather than leave the sight of his own face.


Neo was involved with Trinity and sought to save the world at great personal sacrifice. I don't get the comparison.


Neo loved Trinity whereas Narcissus did not love Echo.
