Subject: Re: Siddhartha and the Female Perspective

In fact, except for Kamala, there is no women in Hesses¹s Siddhartha. Even Kamala is a type of Siddhartha¹s sex-teacher and that¹s all: all she teaches him is about caress, orgasm, physical relations in general. We can also see someone similar to her in Saramago¹s Evangelho segundo Jesus Cristo, with the character Maria de Magdala, who iniciates Jesus de Nazarà in sex arts. Can¹t the women share anything else than sex with their partners? Sex is wonderful, but is not enough in a complete relationship.
