.... wanders the earth for eternity. The woman is the daughter of a demon. Sonia tells Yossi - “ I love you more than anything”, when Yossi asks her if she loves him more than God.

.... not find his salvation. He quests his torment, which is only escaped from the 'Self' for temporarily. Again, Siddhartha rejects and leaves the Samana ascetic knowledge. Siddhartha ends his knowledge quests: Brahminism, Samanic asceticism, and Buddhism. He turns to the use of his senses in finding his goal. His main goal is to be his 'Self'.

.... applies to the novel because it promotes the thought that all people should blindly follow Big Brother without thinking at all. The people are stronger as a large group who does not question Big Brother. This statement in some ways applies to life. It almost has the same meaning as "what you don't know can't hurt you."
