Which character is given as an example of a Mentor?

• A. Luke Skywalker
• B. Morpheus
• C. Dorothy
• D. Harry Potter

Answer: (B)

The Mentor is the guide who prepares and equips the hero for the journey, offering wisdom, training, and belief in the hero’s potential. Morpheus fits this role because he seeks out Neo, tests his potential, and provides the crucial knowledge and training that help Neo see the truth of the Matrix and pursue his destined path. He also makes the key choices clear for Neo, like presenting the decision between staying in ignorance and stepping into responsibility, which is exactly what a mentor does—unlocking the hero’s abilities and confidence.

Luke Skywalker is the hero who receives guidance from mentors, not the mentor themselves. Dorothy is the central protagonist who learns from others along the way, and Harry Potter likewise has mentors who guide him rather than representing the guiding archetype themselves. Morpheus is the clear example of the Mentor figure.
