Subject: Re: Siddhartha and the Female Perspective |
It's interesting to hear from a female (kws) that Siddhartha encompasses the female perspective as well. I, as a male, would have assumed otherwise, but then again, I guess I am biased. However, I would have made the comment that a male point of view does not take away from the value of the work. After all, much of Hesse's writing was in some way autobiographical, and thus, such a perspective would be natural. I think that it is important to realize that not every work of art or literature has to necessarily be universal, but can still be appreciated within the confines which it sets for itself. Siddhartha, though, does seem to reach out to quite a large number of people.
