Siddhartha Note #1


  • awakened; newly born 
  • doesn't know where he belongs (feels alone)
  • on a journey to find himself 
  • we see an evolution occur; things are becoming clear to him
  • he compares himself to every one, and then finds himself stepping away from what is expected of him 
  • Brahman to self-journey 
  • tone: depends on who is interpreting it; might be seen as bold and adventurous OR can be seen as terrified and confused 
  • symbol: snake (might symbolize a terrible occurrence because snakes are poisonous and often interpreted as bad omen; snakes are able to paralyze and cause fear)
