Siddhartha surprised me
with his decisions in the third section. He decides to leave Kamala, his only
source of felicity, and go off alone. During the years he was with Kamala he
lost joy; he didn't hear his inside voice anymore. His lost of happiness impulses him to take various
actions, such as leaving Kamala and trying to kill himself. Thankfully, his
inner-voice rejoins him and he finds happiness again.
All the strange occurrences mentioned above made me come up with different questions. Why wasn't he satisfied with his wealthy lifestyle and with Kamala? When did his inside voice disappear? How many years passed while he was unhappy? How old is he now? Why didn't Govinda decide to stay with his friend? What will happen when the Buddha dies? Will he have any sort of relations with another women after leaving Kamala behind? Will he recognize his son when he reaches the river with Kamala?
Section three presented many turning points, and hopefully all my questions will be answered. I have made predictions for the last section regarding my questions. I believe Siddhartha will recognize his son, and that will make him extremely joyful. Then, as soon as the Buddha dies, he will do something with his river knowledge and become the new Buddha. I am anxious to know how the book Siddhartha finalizes!
