Gilgamesh 4 and Final ♥♠

At the beggining of this reading you can sense Gilgamesh selfish worries of his mortal side which can die. His fear of ending his life because of his mortal side being attacked were continuosly growing reflecting on his dreams so he does a very socity thing which is go for help to the gods as religion and society teach us since we are young since superiors can do everything for us.

This fills Gilgamesh with a desire to become a god so he can be granted immortality. I would think that all this argument between the gods was to enphizises the point of Gilgamesh was remembering Endiku and thats the reason he was choking, even though they weren't real brothers, they had made a commitment to each other and Gilgamesh had failed both Endiku and himself in the darkness were he could finally accept it and understand his mortal human side.

When Gilgamesh ends his grieveing of Endiku, he still cannot answer to himself if he must also end like that, if he must also die which I think is the reason he asks why in the first place is he here if he will have to leave which is something he and the tavern keeper, Veiled, and the boatman, Urshànabi, in between lines explain to him.

"Two people, who are companions, they..."

The end of Gilgamesh from page 62 to 85 and the rest I found confussing since you see then the real Gilgamesh and how sensible he is to all that around him like death and love. I recalled how at the beggining he felt so brave and powerful but after seeing that he wasn't completly god as he thought he could get to be, Gilgamesh I believe falls into a complete depression causing Endiku to come back from the dead where he has been and save him, Gilgamesh that had been the ruler of rulers and king from kings, from himself.

Gilgamesh 3 ♥♠

What I most enjoyed from this part of the reading was the simple way Endiku died and you he takes the feeling of fear towards death humanity has developed and he interprets it against the human nature. I think the reason Gilgamesh feels very alone after Endiku's death and decides to compasate his depression by showing his wealth in honor of Endiku for this is the noble way Gilgamesh was brought up.

I was impressed by the way Endiku at the feels so in a way surprised and dissapointed when the gods decide he should die for fullfilling a mission that was commanded by one of those gods itself. By the way Endiku cursed the people that took him to Endiku, especially to the temple prostitude where once again the story changes to show that she was "special" since she brought him to Gilgamesh, showing him as the center of everything even in Endiku's moment.

Gilgamesh 2 ♥♠

Since the beggining of the trip Gilgamesh and Endiku started, Gilgamesh had those strange yet forgunate dreams but he had already "seen" when Endiku would appear so al these dreams become more occurent everytime Gilgamesh sleeps I believe they will develop an important role in the story. This part of the you notice also enphazises alot on the gods and the demons in a very existencialist way, very religious also. For example, when Gilgamesh calls Shamash for bravery as he passes the demond of fear Huwawa and who these control al the natural phenomenas.

But you must also notice the way that Endiku is still attached to his wild roots. When Gilgamesh is "attacked" by the demon in the forest Endiku new he was evil even if he said everything to Gilgamesh. This part might also have alot to do with knowing your culture, where you are from, and remembering this.

I also thought alot about Ishtar the goddess of love. Religion always gives the idea of love very tender and sweet but she being the goddess of it can be shown to be very cold and cruel, even very luxurious for she didn't love Giglamesh, I believe she thought she did just like she thought she loved Tammuz the slain. My conclusion about her is that she was so filled with hate for having to love it all good and evil she stopped loving herself and had to protect her image, her feelings, her identidy somehow, maybe by asking Anu the Bull of Heaven to destroy Gilgamesh. Ishtar can represet, I think, the cruelty of love when its gone and turns into hate of itself.

Gilgamesh 1 ♥♠

I interpreted the first part of Enkidu as the counter part of Gilgamesh, instead of being royalty being himself in the wild, but when they reacted to each other as they did wresteling trying to defeat its equal but then noticing they were both "part of the same person" and boarding into such a dangerous trip I think will make them realize who much more they are alike. Endiku seems to complement the lack of Gilgamesh in nature and wild spirit but, likewise, Gilgamesh seems to be the part of Endiku that should have been broght up in a civilized kingdom.
