The Naming of Morpheus’s Hovercraft
Morpheus’s hovercraft, named the Nebuchadnezzar, nods to the biblical King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon, known for his conquests and the destruction of Jerusalem and Solomon’s Temple, leading to the Babylonian captivity.
The choice of naming Morpheus’s ship after a king known for enslavement contrasts his liberation mission. Morpheus echoes Nebuchadnezzar’s words, “I dreamed a dream…but now that dream is gone from me.”, highlighting a deeper connection.
