Siddhartha: Love it or Hate it?
Hey guys! I was thinking...the book we are reading so far in class is very interesting. I have been enjoying Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse because I feel like I can relate to the main character in some part. I like how Hesse is writing about Siddhartha's life and is taking his readers along for the journey, but not only is he doing that, he is giving us some insight on life and as readers we are able to connect and say oh that's so true. I feel like Hesse made Siddhartha and in a way the main character is us. As people we want more and search for the real truth, not just what we are being told. We want to have satisfaction in life and we want to find ourselves. I love the novel so far and cannot wait to continue reading it. What do you guys thinks? How do you feel about te novel so far? Do you like it or dislike it? Why?

I like the novel so far because just like you i can relate to Siddhartha wanting to find himself. Siddhartha's journey gives us an insight of his long journey in finding who he is and that we are not the only one's that suffer or are unsatisfied with who we are or that want to improve who we are.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate the character of Siddhartha, I agree in that his experiences are truly relatable. I respect the fact that he abandoned all the conforts and safety of his home to find himself. I find it fustrating however that despite these actions, he was still arrogant.
ReplyDeleteAs we have seen with the most recent chapter, his arrogance eventually lead to his downfall. I'm glad that he was able to recover from this and start anew. I'm excited to see where he'll go next.
The only thing that is bothering me is the fact that he has no knowledge of his son-to-be. I'm just wondering what will happen to Kamala, and if Siddhartha and his son will ever cross paths.
