Siddhartha

Selvi Bunce

Growing to be a Wise Ferry Man

The novel Siddhartha by Herman Hesse follows the life of Siddhartha, who starts out as a very smart yet restless Brahmin and grows to be a wise old ferry man. The life of Siddhartha takes place in two major places, the town where he becomes rich, and at the river where he learns the meaning of life. Each of these places represents something in Siddhartha’s life and the story would not be the same if either of these places were removed.

Chooses to Live an Ascetic Life

Siddhartha grows up as a clever Brahmin in a small town where he is expected to become a priest like his father. Siddhartha decides to leave and live an ascetic life as a wandering Samana. After hearing the Buddha speak he has an enlightenment of his own and goes to live among ordinary people in a town. This is where Siddhartha’s life really starts.
