Since the Matrix seems big on having the names mean something... (Neo being an anagram for One, etc) maybe Persephone means something.

In Greek mythology, Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and taken to the underworld. Eventually her mother (Demeter, I think) persuaded Zeus to bring her back up, provided she had not eaten while she was with Hades. Hades persuaded her to eat 4 pomegranite seeds before she left. So, Zeus comprtimised, and Persephone had to stay with Zeus for 4 months a year. In that time, Demeter wept, and the world went barren (winter). When she left, Demeter was overjoyed, and the world went all pretty and isht.

Now, it seems as if Persephone (in the movie) left the French guy, who is obviously evil and controls some relics of the old (analogous to Greek?) Matrix. After PErsephone left them, maybe it is a symbol of things about to get pretty again.

Or something like that.

Fuck it, I'm hungry.
