Abstract

This is a critical investigation of Hermann Hesse's novel Siddhartha. An endeavor is being made to grasp readers that the protagonist of Hesse was neither uniform to live, nor indiscriminately followed the conventions and teachings that have been said by others. He does not have the usual lessons to its objectives of self-acknowledgement is come to. It tries to look when a person to the existing meta-narratives stays without protest them, he can never be enlightened. In this manner, the comprehension is not transmitted, but rather might be information. His instructor was his own self. He should have known and must have kept on being seekers. And it will have been only when he had to go through the various mini-narratives. It is to answer additionally, why and how mini-narratives are core components of human actions? Since these small-narratives are journals of Grand-narratives that are no longer reliable. It is an effort to understand readers, the deconstruction that rejects the likelihood of immobile meanings. And this impossibility is the sole reason to produce several alternatives. As: insincere and devout, day and night, good and evil, spirit and body, and eternal and mortal. This study has dissected from the point of view of postmodernism. In particular, J.F lyotard's disbelief against "narratives" and Jacques Derrida's model of "deconstruction Difference". In the end, it gets a couple proposition requests to gain a self. A Person should not move as bland life as dry leaves that blow in the same direction as the wind. He should go on his own way and not according to the herd. His main anxious is the need to be discovering the way to himself. Things make the way clear automatically when he would open the investigation.
