The Maturation of Siddhartha

Herman Hesse's Siddhartha Siddhartha's maturity is the story of a young Indian aristocrat who runs around the world to understand the meaning of life. His journey began with the young Brahman who wanted to solve the complexity of his existence. He became an old saint who founded peace in himself and in his environment. Throughout the book Hesse allows the reader to track the maturation of Siddhartha through his experience and the people he contacts.

During his trip hero (Siddhartha) has matured and discovered that experience is like raising a novel. The main conflict between Siddhartha and society is that he is not satisfied with other people. As the Govinda kissed his forehead and reached enlightenment, the hero (Siddhartha) can now lend a hand. This is the reason why the story of Siddhartha is consistent with the genre of the novel being grown.

Socrates once said that "uncensored is not worth living." In Herman Hesse's novel "Sidado", there are various forms of self-discovery trips, and it is necessary to change the main character in the lifetime. The hero's Siddhartha must first emerge from his life as Brahmin, to understand his pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. Next, Siddhartha found that he must reject his spiritual pursuit in order to better understand its role in the world and the world. His ultimate self pursuit was at risk of suicide at him, and finally understood the essence of his mind and the need for continued self-reflection. The character of Siddhartha develops the necessity of constantly updating everything in life to achieve the theme of self-quest and true 'life worth living in'.

The encounter between Siddhartha and Buddha Gautama was the first important experience to help him grow. After spending several years in Samana's abstinence life, Siddhartha decided to look for Gautama, "an outstanding figure" as a potential source of travel aid to find inner self. However, after their conference, Siddhartha was convinced that the Buddha approach would meet his logical and practical needs, but would not make him closer to meeting his spiritual and metaphysical needs . The maturing theme appears in Siddhartha's conclusion. If it is to realize a balance that is not important, it must rely on itself. He knows that the Buddha has a wonderful experience, but that is a personal experience. Siddhartha believes his development process relies on forging his own experience, and his self realization can only be achieved by himself, no matter what kind of knowledge Gautama gives him I can do it.
