Question

To what degree is his father’s observation about travelers (“They come in search of new things, but when they leave they are basically the same people they were when they arrived.”) true about Santiago?

(The Alchemist)

Answer 1

I would guess that it means that people always come trying to change themselves or find something better, but when they leave they are always the same. They never find what they were looking for or were to stubborn to listen.

Is there any more to this question?
