This paper discusses the character development of Siddhartha, the main character in Herman Hesse’s novel, Siddhartha (1973). This research aims to study how Siddhartha’s character develops during his journey to reach enlightenment. The analysis is conducted by using the theory of the hero's journey by Joseph Campbell. The result shows that Siddhartha’s journey follows twelve out of seventeen stages of the hero’s journey proposed by Campbell. All of the stages appear in the same order except the stage Belly of The Whale that comes late. It functions as a turning point rather than a preparation for a greater ordeal. The analysis also shows that Siddhartha undergoes two major changes; from an individualistic to a wise person and from someone who is always persistent and thirsty for knowledge to someone who is flexible.

The issue of environmental contamination remains unsolved. The problem continues to have a substantial detrimental impact. This research aimed to identify provinces in Indonesia with high or low levels of environmental pollution so that the government may offer treatment to provinces with high levels of pollution and seek a significant reduction in the incidence of environmental pollution in Indonesia. Clustering is required to identify provinces with high and low pollution levels using the complete linkage method because this method can provide tight clusters and is less impacted by outliers. The analysis of the complete linkage method with Elbow optimization revealed two optimal clusters, namely high and low clusters. The high cluster consists of three provinces: Central Java, West Java, and East Java. The low cluster consists of 31 provinces. This research used a Silhouette Coefficient validity test. The value of the Silhouette Coefficient is 0.75. The value indicates that the data object is in the correct cluster and that the cluster structure is relatively strong.
