Siddhartha Notes

- He was a religious man
- Siddhartha didn't know where he belonged
- Each step was a broader view of what's out there
- Looking ahead and not looking back
- Trying to figure out the person you want to become
- Brahmin highest level of class, very religious 
- Him being awaken and him seeing a snake were the parts that were repeated most
- Snakes symbolize evil 
- He's taking his own path and he is own his own and is scared to keep moving forward
- Taught to think of others before ourselves 
- Direct threat to step outside of values and try to go against our own cultural values that you've grown up with
- Snakes shed skin every year to try to take on a new path and leave the older layer of his life behind 
- Despair and apprehension comes along with leaving something that you lived in for so long 
- Grieving what's no longer alive
- Tone was doubtful in the beginning confusion or overwhelmed
- At the end he is very optimistic and happy
