Abstract

This paper discusses the character development of Siddhartha, the main character in Herman Hesse’s novel, Siddhartha (1973). This research aims to study how Siddhartha’s character develops during his journey to reach enlightenment. The analysis is conducted by using the theory of the hero's journey by Joseph Campbell. The result shows that Siddhartha’s journey follows twelve out of seventeen stages of the hero’s journey proposed by Campbell. All of the stages appear in the same order except the stage Belly of The Whale that comes late. It functions as a turning point rather than a preparation for a greater ordeal. The analysis also shows that Siddhartha undergoes two major changes; from an individualistic to a wise person and from someone who is always persistent and thirsty for knowledge to someone who is flexible.

从赫尔曼·黑塞的《悉达多》看英雄之旅对悉达多性格发展的意义

本文探讨了赫尔曼·黑塞小说《悉达多》(1973)中主人公悉达多的性格发展。本研究旨在研究悉达多的性格是如何在他达到觉悟的旅程中发展的。本文运用约瑟夫·坎贝尔的英雄之旅理论进行分析。结果表明，悉达多的旅程遵循坎贝尔提出的英雄旅程的17个阶段中的12个阶段。所有的舞台都是按照同样的顺序出现的，除了《鲸腹》这一阶段出现得较晚。它的作用是一个转折点，而不是为更大的考验做准备。分析还表明，悉达多经历了两大变化;从一个个人主义的人到一个有智慧的人，从一个永远执着求知欲的人到一个灵活变通的人。
