    It's a great help while reading Demian because it explains a lot of symbolism, Jung's references and also the meaning of Sinclair's dreams which are key to understand the novel.

    Quotes

    • 🌟has quoted4 years ago
      Sinclair must live because he is a representative of that new humanity in which lies the hope of the human race. Possessed now of self-realization and Frau Eva’s blessing, it would make no sense for Hesse to bring him all this way only to have him die at the very moment when he is finally prepared to go out into the world and proclaim, Zarathustra-like, what Ziolkowski (The Novels of Hermann Hesse) calls “The Gospel of Demian.”

        “We create gods and struggle with them and they bless us.” What Sinclair is alluding to here is the process of projection and re-internalization of unconscious images which will undergo on his road to totality. And as a matter of fact, it is immediately after the encounter with Knauer that Sinclair is able, for the first time, after many false starts and unsuccessful attempts, to paint the all-important picture of Frau Eva.
