The Oracle is not the 'Mother of the Matrix'

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 2003)

Spoiler Alert I have a theory; maybe others have already suggested this, but I haven't seen such a theory if it exists. I am interested in your feedback. I have seen Reloaded three times, and each time I see it I learn something new. The most recent time I watched the film I discovered that the Oracle is probably not the Mother of the Matrix that the Architect refers to. The architect never refers to the Mother of the Matrix as the Oracle. Only Neo makes that connection. As the Architect is first talking about the Mother of the Matrix, Neo interrupts him and says surprisingly, "The Oracle?" The Architect replies sarcastically, "Please," and then continues talking about the Mother of the Matrix's purpose but only refers to her in the third person as "she." Why would the Architect respond with a sarcastic "please" and refer to her in the third person if Neo's connection between the Oracle and the Mother of the Matrix was correct. If the Oracle is the Mother of the Matrix why would the Architect not refer to her as such? It is obvious we are supposed to believe that the Mother of the Matrix is the Oracle, but analyzing the body language and words of the Architect proves otherwise. The Oracle cannot be the Mother of the Matrix for this reason.
Then who is the Mother of the Matrix?
It is my belief that Persephone will be revealed as the Mother of the Matrix. The kiss between Persephone and Neo is confusing for fans like you and I, and even somewhat gratuitous for one-time viewers. Nothing in this film is gratuitous, so I have struggled to understand the meaning of the kiss between Persephone and Neo. Once I came to the conclusion that the Oracle is not the Mother of the Matrix, I also came to a conclusion about the meaning of the kiss. We all know that the Mother of the Matrix was designed as an intuitive program to better understand the human psyche. She altered the sixth anomaly of the Matrix (Neo) to be connected to a specific love and not a general love of humanity, as the previous anomalies had been. As we know, Neo's specific love is Trinity, which led him to choose the door that the other anomalies had not. Thus, if Persephone is the Mother of the Matrix and is the program which altered the anomaly to have a specific love, would she not want to test her own work? Would she not want to see for herself if this specific love "worked?" This explains the kiss sequence. From the kiss, Persephone wanted to know if she was successful in creating in the anomaly a specific love rather than a general love.

What do you think?
