How is Vasudeva like Siddhartha?

Both leave for the forest at the end of the novel.


They have both studied with Gautama Buddha.


Both of them are simple and uneducated.


They have followed their own way to enlightenment and found it on the river.

Answer:

They have followed their own way to enlightenment and found it on the river.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vasudeva, who has literally and figuratively ferried Siddhartha to enlightenment, can now leave the earth, with Siddhartha taking over as ferryman.

Vasudeva will live on in Siddhartha's own enlightenment and teachings.
