- Siddhartha slowly loses touch with his inner voice while experiencing the sensual and material world. Could have Siddhartha attained enlightenment without living through "Samsara?" Was the sensual and material world an essential component to his obtaining enlightenment, or was it an unnecessary detour?
- Siddhartha chooses to reject Buddha's teachings and find his own path towards enlightenment. However, does not Siddhartha follow - perhaps at a subconscious level - the Buddha's philosophy, or does Siddhartha experience his own unique journey?
