Character Analysis Of Siddhartha In 'The Kite Runner'

No more than ten pages within the novel, we see that the protagonist Siddhartha is uncomfortable. When Siddhartha talks, the reader can infer that he is looking for something that is missing in his life. There seems to be a missing piece of the puzzle, just as it was in the novel, The Kite Runner. Siddhartha realizes that he wants to adventure to find Nirvana. But not too long after he realizes that, he realizes that he has to leave his father and the Brahmins. In the metaphor from the quote, Siddhartha explains that he has learned everything he can from home. The “waiting vessel” is a symbol in the quote. It symbolizes the adventure to enlightenment for Siddhartha.

Siddhartha’s father questioned his decision of leaving. He was very angry

with Siddhartha’s decision. In fact, he tried to stay calm to prevent himself from exploding with anger. The tone and language in the quote illustrates the anger and displeasure of his father. The literary devices help as well. But tone, literary devices, and language help show the development of a young hero to be. The actions of his father were described as an “obvious denial.”
Govinda was kind of old, so to him, Siddhartha was more than a friend.

He viewed him as some sort of God. Siddhartha gained tons of knew knowledge on his journey. With his new found knowledge, he could now teach Govinda, just as Govinda taught him. Siddhartha had finally completed his life goal. He had finally reached true enlightenment. In this quote, the author uses figurative language to illustrate Siddhartha’s journey and his evolution.

Siddhartha wanted to learn the art of love. So to accomplish this goal, he wished to become the apprentice of Kamala. Kamala was also a possibility of being Siddhartha’s only true love. She possessed both the qualities of being his mentor and lover. There is a great use of language in this quote. The author uses different words such as beautiful to show how Siddhartha feels about Kamala. It also reveals what Siddhartha wants. He wants Kamala to be his teacher and friend so they can develop a relationship.

When Siddhartha looked into the river, he discovered that he and his father had more in common than he thought. He discovered that his father had experienced the same pain he had experienced. Siddhartha’s son left him, just as Siddhartha left his father. Siddhartha started to listen to the river, and heard many voices while doing so. From this, he mastered the art of listening. Syntax is used in this quote. The order of the passage shows Siddhartha’s thought process. Siddhartha realized the both he and his father experienced the pain of losing a

son.
Siddhartha’s aid in his journey is his spiritual powers. This is a very unlikely trait in many heroes. His spiritual powers help him quite a lot throughout the story, such as his power of meditation. Even though they cannot speak, his powers help guide him on his journey. The imagery in this quote shows the power of Siddhartha’s will and how it helps him in many situations. The theme of doing it your self is shown by Siddhartha because he has no one to guide him to enlightenment but himself. Even though many people help Siddhartha, he is the only one who can take himself to enlightenment.
I this quote, Siddhartha got one step closer on his journey to enlightenment. From this moment, he realizes that no one can help anymore. No teacher can help and guide him at this point of his journey. He crosses this “verge” into the main theme of this novel. Only Siddhartha can reach his goal of enlightenment. The author uses syntax to tell all of this. Hesse also uses strange and complex wording to tell all of this. Hesse saw the importance of the moment and made it as straightforward as possible.
Siddhartha is faced with an unimaginable amount pain and agony. Siddhartha had become a semana. To do this, he had to make many sacrifices. This was a sort of “trial.” Siddhartha had to face this trial physically and spiritually. He had to acquire the determined mentality so that he get through all of the pain to reach his goal. With all of the imagery in this quote, a picture is painted of how painful Siddhartha’s journey was. The picture shows how he was tortured by the climate trying to achieve his goal.
I can really relate to this quote. It reminds me of a time in my life when I had to grow up. I had to start acting my age. It was my time to mature, and start acting like a teenager. My parents reminded me that I was not the most important person in the world. People had problems that were bigger than mine. From this moment, I began to do things more independently and being more responsible.
From this quote, I can relate with my transition to IB. I was very happy with my parent’s and teacher’s decision to put me in the IB program. I felt that I should have been in the program since elementary school. I think that my teacher’s decision was very well thought out because her goal was to get me a better education. My parents wanted to give me a better life. They both had similar goals. They wanted me better my skills and give me a brighter future, just as Siddhartha had a goal.
