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.
