Kamala
is the rich merchant whom Siddhartha works for when he comes into town. He teaches Siddhartha how to trade and gamble, but he is frustrated when Siddhartha’s wisdom and lack of interest in profits detract from the deals he wants to make. He is an anxious man, prone to anger, and is a symbol of the greed and tiredness of the unspiritual town.
