Gnosticism is basically a religious movement that teaches a belief that humans are a souls trapped in a material world created by a spirit called demiurge. the practice of Gnosticism was popular in the medditeranean and middle east in the second and third century.there was an asssumption that gnosticism had a connection with the muslim.this was really a long passage that takes a lot of concentration but pretty intresting becuase wen u read it is gonna make sense and connect with the movie the matrix and the passage the allegory of the cave. in the film of matrix most of the people were trapped in a world that u can never go back once u make a decision by taking the pill red or blue once u take the red pill u cant go back and the blue pill u can and in the passsage of gnoticism is a belief that humans are trapped in a world and it reminded me of the movie when neo takes the pill and his whole life changed and was trapped in a different world which was like 2199.in the passage of the allegory of the cave it makes a lilttle connection with the gnosticism in the allegory of the cave the two people were trapped in the cave and they believed that everything was dark that there was no son because there backs were covering the open gap for the sunlight to come in and it made it sound like they was trapped in a world with no light. the three compare to each other beacuse the main point is to show that the everyone was trappped in a world with just a belief that is made by ur assumption and also in a world were u cant go back. i had a little trouble finding the connection with the three but in the end i learned that is all common sense.
