As a reader it really helps you understand Siddhartha's thoughts, and you makes you feel like you are Siddhartha. This sets a tone making you feel like everything in his world is beautiful, and really shows Siddhartha appreciating the world for what it is. He looks at the world from a child's perspective, noticing things for what they are. If everyone looked at the world from his perspective we could move mountains But his face and his steps, his silently lowered gaze, his silently hanging arm, and every last finger on his silently hanging hand spoke of peace, spoke of perfection, did not seek, did not imitate, breathed gently in an everlasting calm, in an everlasting light, an inviolable peace.
This description of Gautama includes Figures of Speech. Breathed gently in an everlasting calm. The tone of this passage is reticent. This paragraph is a prime example of visual imagery and character development. This is also the point when Siddhartha meets the Sublime One for the first time. It is at this point when Siddhartha parts from his teacher and his friend. May you it to its end, O my friend! May find deliverance! This is ironic because Siddhartha wants to help his friend Govinda but in order to do so he has to leave him. I think this is situational irony because normally to help someone you have to be with them but instead Siddhartha is leaving him.
This is not even mentioning Siddhartha leaving his own family. After speaking with Gotama, I found it interesting how Siddhartha was disappointed with the response he had received. It was as if he expected more from the Buddha just like with every teacher he had previously. Beware of excessive cleverness! However, the deeper meaning is much more confusing but impactful. How he was clever to leave his family for the shramana, then the shramana in search of Gotama, and finally, leaving his best friend Govinda. For he is a different Siddhartha, intent on figuring out who this new one is.

I never realized how much more meaning you find in an entire book by simply rereading one section. Sentences that I originally hadn't bothered much with I found to hold a boatload of meaning. My favorite in this section is the multiple references and comparisons to a serpent. When first reading this book, I thought they were just visual guides, a way to help the audience see what the author wants you to see.
But as I was scanning the pages of Awakening, an idea hit me. Snakes tend to be associated with deception. The are clandestine creatures, and often used to describe surreptitious characters. Even the Bible used a snake as an antagonist who cleverly swindles Adam and Eve.

The reference that I found to be most important occurs on page So, to me, shedding his skin symbolizes his old misconceptions falling away, but the snake remains. The underlying misguided thoughts about himself are still in existence, that is until he sees this serpent, and he understands himself, and his true path, more clearly. I totally agree with you. The first time I read the book I kinda just read it without putting meaning to the words, but then after analyzing the text there is so much more to it that I completely missed.
Your interpretation of the snake is really interesting. I feel like the snake could also represent a symbol of him being reborn and having a new purpose in his life. After seeing the snake he can now continue on his path, with no strings attached. Blog Post 2: [Posting chapters because my former blog post was on chapters ] pg.
The author uses powerful diction to convey the aura that Siddhartha possesses and also applies this language to Govinda's thoughts of Siddhartha becoming a influential being. It is also greatly accentuated that Govinda and Siddhartha's parents expect great things from him yet do not notice the inner turmoil that Siddhartha himself breeds internally within himself. The author emphasizes in this paragraph the great future that is laid before Siddhartha and what is expected of him.

Because of this consistent pressure on Siddhartha; this may have contributing factor to Siddhartha's internal turmoil. Though he has incredible potential and has anything he wants in life, he is still malcontent with his place and seeks inner peace with himself and his surroundings. Siddhartha definitely has an inner turmoil and lots of things seem to fuel it.
The main thing that implements his inner turmoil is wanting to find which path is right for him. He tries multiple different religions and faiths, but never gives them a long enough chance to teach him. His impatience seems to get him into trouble, but without it he would never have become the person he did. Another main thing that seems to affect his inner turmoil is his friend Govinda.
Govinda is obviously his friend, but he doesn't really care about Govinda as much as Govinda cares about him. You make several good points in your analysis. I agree with many of them. Like I see how you would say Siddhartha has a lot of potential for showing his appreciation for Govinda. After Siddhartha left Govinda he wandered around wondering where to go. He took a ferry, but did not have any money to pay the man.
This quote is extremely ironic because Siddhartha does eventually go back to the ferryman, but even then the ferryman still teaches him more than anyone else has in his entire journey. Hesse added this line in as foreshadowing, because as a reader no one thought that Siddhartha was gonna go back to some random ferryman. This quote is also ironic because when Siddhartha goes back to the ferryman he tells him that the river will teach everything he needs to know. The river does exactly that and Siddhartha becomes the person that he had always wanted to be, just from the river.
Selected Passage In this passage of Siddhartha, Siddhartha is meeting Kamala for the first time. Immediately, Siddhartha experiences lust for Kamala. He must have clothes, lovely clothes, and shoes, lovely shoes, and lots of money in his pouch, and gifts for Kamala. Here, Kamala is explaining why Siddhartha is currently not good enough for her. Kamala expresses that a man for her must have good clothes, shoes and lots of money to buy her gifts, thus showing that she cares for materialistic things, not so much the connection between two individuals.
This marks yet another turning point for Siddhartha. Up until this point Siddhartha is on his path to enlightenment. He is trying to empty himself of impurities. This is not a step in the right direction for him because he ends up getting a job for Kamaswami and becomes rich and buys things he does not need.
All of this is just to please Kamala. Siddhartha even gets Kamala pregnant. Siddhartha does not find this out until later in the book because Siddhartha leaves Kamala before Kamala gets a chance to tell him. I agree with you how this is a turning point, but I think Siddhartha views this more as a detour of his actual goal in achieving nirvana. While Kamala is clearly materialistic, she doesn't love. While staying in the village, Siddhartha views Kamala more as a teacher then as a mistress or lover. He later tells Govinda of his many teachers and Kamala is among them. By viewing her as a teacher, in his mind, he has not become one of the child people.
This is sort of ironic considering when you think of child associated with religion, you usually think of a disciple. Is Siddhartha not a shramana disciple? Kamala does tell him that he has remained one because he does not love. His dream is extremely vivid, but I find what it signifies to be incredibly interesting. It seems that leaving Govinda was a fairly easy task for Siddhartha in my opinion. Siddhartha had always talked down to Govinda and did not see him as an individual, but more as a follower. I believe that although he did not express it, Siddhartha loved Govinda in a brotherly way.
They had been together for many years and when they parted ways Govinda was clearly upset, but Siddhartha remained seemingly unaffected. After a short time passes, experiences the absence of his dear friend in the form of a dream. I believe that this dream also signifies temptation.

Much like the Sublime One, Siddhartha will face temptation head on. He dreams it and it becomes reality when he meets Kamala, and later in the book strays away from his path towards enlightenment because of this. The Buddha was successful in his resistance to the temptation, but in the end Siddhartha was unable to control himself and when the time comes he abandons all he initially sought for. I find it interesting how you compared Siddhartha's dream of Govida to the one of the woman.
You can clearly tell that he has fallen to temptation because of Kamala, but I don't think he's completely abandoned his teaching. Later, he mentions the child people, and even though he does the same thing they do, drink, gamble, and have sex, he considers himself to be different. It's almost as if he views himself to be slightly more inferior then them because he has achieved enlightenment by discovering himself, and he is still a shaman in his head.
I believe Siddhartha thinks he still has a connection with religion the way the child people don't. This is because unlike them, he has gone to severe measures to try and achieve nirvana. Deep down, I think his goal is still to try and reach nirvana. The time he spends with Kamala and being a merchant is merely a detour. After all, Kamala does tell him that "in spite of all that, my dear, you have remained a shramana and you do not love me. If he doesn't love, he hasn't become one of the child people, which somehow doesn't make him any less religious and less likely to attain nirvana.
You love no one, is that not so?
