Siddhartha’s problem with his son is that his son is a spoilt brat. His son is used to wealth and privilege, ordering around servants, the city life. Siddhartha Jr. hated living in a shack by a river with two old hermits. Siddhartha’s problem with his son is that he loved him to much to punish him and his son knew it and hated him for it. And then his son ran away and left a big wound in Sid’s heart that stayed open for a long time. 2

Siddartha’s son was used to riches and servants when he left with his mother. He was not used to the person that his father was and could not instantly love him. He was angry at the world for taking the life of his mother and angry at his father for not being there. He could not get used to leaving a soft bed and servants who did everything he wished for this poor lifestyle. Yet siddartha was patient and tried to win him over with love and patience.

he smiles because he is happy to have a friend go on a journey with him. Govinda may also look at things the same way as Siddhartha.

I think that the river represents him moving on in life and forgetting the past. He is now also getting old so he cannot remember everything.

What is the “Om” and what does the character of Siddhartha have to say about it? Om is the holy all powerful word. Siddhartha says that “The Om is the bow, the arrow is the soul, Brahman is the arrows goal at which one aims unflinchingly.”
What does it signify that Siddhartha is a Brahmin’s son? That he comes from a rich background.
What are the parallels between the life of the Buddha and the Hesse character of Siddhartha? They come from the same background and go on similar journey’s.

It is significant because he now realizes that it is in possible for rivers to flow that way even if you want them to. And he figuered that out once he went to the river and saw it for himself
