Reviews)
The quote "Morality has never sought me nothing that was not painful" reflects Emil Sinclair's struggles with the expectations of societal morals and his own internal conflicts. Throughout Hermann Hesse's "Demian," Sinclair grapples with the pressures of conforming to conventional values while yearning for personal freedom and self-discovery. This tension illustrates the often painful journey individuals face when reconciling their identity with external moral frameworks.
