The love of the goddess Ishtar falls in love representing the perfection of Gilgamesh. Even Gods fall in love with him showing his part like god. As though then comes the wrath of Ishtar we can see how Gilgamesh is not afraid if the gods. Specially when Enkidu is at his side. "Two people, companions, they can prevail together."(pg 34) I can see how the two characters care a lot for each other, you can almost say they are dependent on on the other. When seeing this union I remind myself of all the Colombian families and how unified most of them are. The actions committed by both Gilgamesh and Enkidu are challenging towards the gods. Any ways Gilgamesh demonstrates a lot of self confidence. "I´m the strongest."(pg 36) I can see how he believes that nothing can hurt him, but is this self confidence going to protect him or make him more vulnerable?
I answered my question when Enkidu got sick. Gilgamesh then finds a weak spot inside himself which is his love towards him. "Why am I left to live wile my brother dies? Why should he die and I be spared to live?"(pg 38) I then saw how the disbelief of Gilgamesh was such that he even questioned the decision of the gods. I could also see that there was some repetition in the words. Sometimes the characters said two different worded sentences that actually meant the same. Enkidu begins to have many incredible thoughts and finally I could realise he was in love with life and was cursing the people that had caused hi death.l Anyways he was thank full for being with Gilgamesh. Or he wasn't? "Two people, companions, they can prevail together, Gilgamesh is afraid and doe not help me." (pg 43) This showed me that Enkidu wasn't completely thankful with Gilgamesh. Is my prediction true? Or is Enkidu saying something disguised in those words?
