Siddhartha Archetypes

Can anyone tell what the main Archetypes are in this book? I got the garden and tree, and river,  as well as Arc. Women, but are there any other major ones I'm missing?

Yes - the wise teacher (Vasudeva - the ferryman), the faithful firend - Govinda and the troubled young man - Siddhartha at the beginning of the novel.

An archetype is an original model or type after which other similar things are patterned; a prototype
