"I wanted to rid myself of the Self, to conquer it, but
I could not conquer it, I could only deceive it, could only fly from it, could
only hise from it".
Siddartha's conflict with his self can be seen as a person
vs. Self conflict. Do you think it's possible to rid yourself of the
"Self" and how could Siddartha do so?

"River was river, and if the One and Divine in
Siddhartha secretly lived in blue and river, it was just the divine art and
intention that there should be yellow and blue, there sky and wood--and here
Siddhartha."
Do you think that the colors yellow and blue symbolize
something here? If so, what do you think was the purpose of the author putting
these here?

"I will no longer study Yoga- Veda, Atharva- Veda, or
asceticism, or any other teachings. I will learn from myself the secret of
Siddhartha" (39). How does Siddhartha believe he will be able to achieve Nirvana
based on his own teachings? Do you believe Siddhartha will achieve Nirvana this
way? How has "self thought" help you become knowledgeable in your own
life ?

"The world was so beautiful when looked at in this way-without any seeking, so simple, so\ childlike" (46).
Do you think Siddhartha will continue to look at the wold in this way? If so what could be the effect and if not what will make him change his mind.

“He is like Govinda,” he thought, smiling. “All the people I
meet on my path are like Govinda. All are thankful, although they themselves
have the right to be thanked. All are subservient, all want to be friends, like
to obey, think little. People are children.” (49)
What do you think Siddhartha means by "people are
children"? Do you think he is making a generalization about all people?

"You will see that the stupid Samanas in the forest
learn and know many useful things. The day before yesterday I was still an
unkempt beggar; yesterday I already kissed Kamala and soon I will be a merchant
and have money and all those things which you value."
If Siddhartha is trying to find his self (atman), are
Kamala's values the way to his goal? Do you think that Kamala's values good or
bad and why?

"For you will need much money if you want to be
Kamala's friend" (pg 57).
Siddhartha is determined to impress Kamala. Do you think
their relationship will ever be as strong as Siddhartha's and Govinda's
relationship was? Or do you think Siddhartha is just interested in quenching
his knowledge by learning about a new type of relationship such as love? Why or
why not?
