Siddhartha
The Brahmin's Son
Siddhartha is the Golden Boy of his community: men want to be him and women want to be with him. 
Among the Child People
Kamala tells Siddhartha that he is the best lover she’s had. She wants to eventually have a child with him.
The Ferryman
Siddhartha sits with Kamala for a long time after she dies. Later he sits awake and listens to the river. While he suffers, the river offers him a sense of unity. Siddhartha becomes peaceful.
Om
Siddhartha feels his soul merge into unity.
Samsara
Kamala does not search for him. She knows Siddhartha is, at heart, a wandering Samana. She releases her songbird from its cage.
By the River
Siddhartha finds himself amused at the course his life has taken and sees his life’s path reflected in the flow of the river.
Govinda
Govinda identifies Siddhartha’s smiling, radiant face as that of the Buddha and bows down in veneration.
Kamala
Siddhartha arrives at the outskirts of a city in a beautifully fenced grove. He sees a woman ride by on a sedan chair with a whole entourage of servants
The Son
Siddhartha wishes desperately to protect his son from pain and suffering, but is reminded by Vasudeva and the wisdom of the river that one cannot teach certain things. They must be learned through experience.
Among the Samanas
Siddhartha and Govinda have spent three years with the Samanas. They learn of a man named Gotama Buddha who has achieved enlightenment. Everyone is gossiping about him.
Guatama
Siddhartha argues the impossibility of reaching enlightenment via others’ teachings. Enlightenment, Siddhartha says, is something a man must do alone.
Awakening
Siddhartha decides to learn from himself alone.
