Siddhartha's father, King Suddhodana, wanted him to become a great ruler and a powerful king. To ensure this, he shielded Siddhartha from any experiences that could lead him to question the material world or pursue a spiritual path. The king believed that by providing a life of luxury and comfort, Siddhartha would fulfill his destiny as a leader. However, Siddhartha's eventual exposure to the realities of suffering led him to seek a different path.
His father, King Shuddodana, kept him from learning about suffering because he wanted the best for Siddhartha.

In Hermann Hesse's "Siddhartha," materialism is exemplified through the character of Siddhartha during his time with the wealthy merchant Kamaswami. Siddhartha becomes entangled in a life of luxury and indulgence, prioritizing wealth and sensual pleasures over spiritual growth. This pursuit ultimately leads to his dissatisfaction and sense of emptiness, illustrating how materialism can distract from the deeper meaning of life and true enlightenment. The contrast between Siddhartha's materialistic phase and his later spiritual awakening emphasizes the futility of seeking fulfillment through possessions and status.
