Morpheus, perhaps a Sage-in-Training, wants to free the world from untruths. His desire to see Neo succeed are in part tainted by his knowledge that only Neo will be imparted with some of the information he wishes to know about the world, and his paranoia about what is "real" and what is "not," as well as the reality that he was ultimately misled, make Morpheus a tragic case of the Sage in Shadow.
