Samsara (n.): The cycle of death and rebirth to which life in the material world is bound
This chapter that we had to read over the weekend had caught my attention the most because as we read, we can see that Siddhartha is no longer himself; he praises greed rather that gratifies nature. Along with that we have the dream of a singing bird, to which symbolizes Siddhartha. What was a surprise to me was the ending, where find out that Kamala is pregnant with Siddhartha's child. What do you guys think will happen? Will Siddhartha find out? Will he return?

I wouldn't be surprised if Siddhartha never returns, leaving Kamala to raise their child herself. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up coming back. I honestly have no idea what to expect in the upcoming chapters.
ReplyDeleteI do not think he's going to return to the city because it said at the end of the chapter that he will never return. I believe that either Kamala will go searching for him or they will just bump into each other somewhere
ReplyDeleteI think the baby would represent Siddartha's former self, and so thus it would not come as a shock to me as to why siddartha never went back.the baby, like siddartha would have to carve his own path
ReplyDeletei agree to this, but then again would not coming back contradict his actions of finding enlightment? because then he won't have any peace within him knowing (or hopefully finds out) of his child.
ReplyDeleteI feel that Siddhartha wont find out about the child unless he goes back to visit the city where he met Kamala, however I also believe that he wont go back since he always seems to be traveling around.
ReplyDeletewell I believe the child allows for realization and consequence for his mistakes sense,physically speaking, the loss of his religious ties holds no immediate consequence to him, especially as a child would. it forces him to take responsibility and provoke a later event of catharsis and realization.
