“Was the way then so hard — only hard? Was it not beautiful as well? Could you have had one more beautiful, more easy?” — Mother Eve
Felt so many different things while reading this. It reminded me that there is a reason for every season of life: even the bad ones help us realize our self-identity. Hesse introduces Sinclair and Demian’s relationship to us to show how youth is full of battles, dreams, longing, and loneliness. Sinclair’s accounts felt so personal that I truly felt grateful to experience his thoughts and compare them to my own. Beautifully introspective writing done by Hesse.
Some things I wondered as I read:
- Must we pursue everything whole-heartedly, in absolution?
- When is it wrong to succumb to our desires?
- When are our souls (or fate) pulling our heartstrings? When is it simply the human condition? Will we ever know the difference?”
