Please help me to understand Steppenwolf
I have read this book 3 times now and have gained more of an insight into the symbolic nature of it. I have never related to a protagonist as much as I do Harry Haller. I love this book.
As I understand, the various characters in the book are representations of different aspects of Haller's psyche. However, the Jungian influence is difficult to understand for me. The the recurring theme of the "Immortals" and exactly why he had to kill Hermione, albeit symbolically. He had to kill his ego?

Why do you relate to the character so much?

Because half the time I'm the nicest guy you'll ever meet. The other half? Twisted. Fucking. Psychopath.

Do you have a photoshopped tattoo of a spider?

I just finished Demian the other day, I liked it. The idea of a vascillating between the lighter and darker sides of the world was definitely something I related to. Hesse's whole style of storytelling is strange, I can't tell if I like it or not really.
