You wouldn't have needed to say so if that was really the case.

I don't feel like Hesse is rigorous enough with his own philosophy to have any of his characters called Nietzschean.

He's got a pretty interesting dialectic process going, where the answer is always somewhere in the middle, but it comes off as lazy and seems irreconcilable with all these absolute notions he puts forward like worldsouls and geniuses and sages.

I read Demian and Siddhartha and couldn't draw any parallels between the two except that they were both bildungsroman that privilege their main characters for no reason.
