The Second One
In the second part of
this book we see a big change in Siddhartha.In the chapter called
Kamala, the Samana finally arrives to a new town. When he got there the people
where really friendly and happy. Since the start of the chapter we see a
difference. When Siddhartha went to talk to a woman she kind of “offered herself.” Even though in the
book we saw how much he wanted to fall for the girl he got the Samana that was
inside of him and he decided to say no. This was an introduction to what was
going to happen later because the whole chapter is dedicated to women. When he
is walking around the town he saw the most beautiful woman he had ever
encountered 
her name was Kamala. Just looking at her for a couple of
seconds made him change dramatically he cut his hair and changed his hole
philosophy and life. The next day he got the opportunity to talk to the fine
woman. Here we can see the intensions and the personality of this person. At
the beginning I would say she is probably the most materialistic person that
can exist and she is not ashamed of it, but later the last time Siddhartha goes
to visit her we can see that she actually feels something for him even though
she doesn’t want to accept it. “Kamala listened to him. She loved his voice, she
loved the look in his eyes.” In
this visit we also see how she goes through the trouble and helps Siddhartha
get a job. By the way they tell it, it is not because she is a good person, she
actually wants to be with him.
There is one interesting thing to look at in this chapter. First of all what is the problem with men. Really just one look, is that all it takes to fall. Then we ask ourselves why females think they are in a sense stronger than us. Everything for a physical attraction they didn’t even talk and he was already cutting his hair. I guess it is ok because it is a book but still it is the dumbest thing he has done until now. At the end they start to be friends so I think he accomplished his goal. I think that in the next chapter he is going to get bored of the town and he is going to go back to live as a Samana and Kamala is going to suffer a lot because she has feelings for him.
