SIDDHARTHA: NOTES

According to me, the theme is self discovery against individuality.
The tone is anxious, nervous, overwhelmed, and towards the end transforms to excited and confident.
Brahmins are the highest level of class in India: the most religious, mannered, and holiest.
Think of family before self.
Encouraged against asking questions and being curious.
Snake symbolized the evil of the new world and evil of following your heart and leaving your identity and loved ones behind.
The author described Indian culture and the confusion faced by the youth of Brahmins.
