I think the major theme of this epic is Man vs. the Natural World. In the epic Gilgamesh is represented as civilization (man) and Enkidu is represented by Nature (natural world). In the beginning of the story Gilgamesh is a mean young man that is just running around doing whatever he wants to do. No rules, no empathy on people, just him doing whatever pleases him. One day before he is about to go in and have his way with a bride an animal like man stops him, his name was Enkidu. Now Enkidu was…

Enkidu kills animals that were once his friends and slays the guardian of the forests so they can be plundered. B. The story of Gilgamesh is about coming to terms with mortality. 1. As part of his maturation process, Gilgamesh starts to see everything from a different perspective and better understands who he is and what he can…

Gods, Gilgamesh, and Humans Really, how different are humans from gods? Today people devote their lives to God while others do not believe that there is a higher being in this world. Religion today is very complicated, but in the interpretation of “Gilgamesh” by Stephen Mitchell, gods are a reality and they heavily influence mankind's success and failures.

The American scholar Joseph Campbell explains that every hero on a quest goes through specific stages. “Ancient myths were designed to put the minds, mental system into accord with this body system….to harmonize” (Campbell). The mind can want things the body does not want. In accord with the way nature dicatates, Well, because that’s what’s worth writing about.

Both are contraries that praise each other, one an arrogant city man who rules, the other a wild careless man of the forests. The relationship these two gentlemen share is an example human friendship and true companionship. Enkidu is a mirrored image of Gilgamesh. Their relationship is ironic because Enkidu was actually supposed to harm Gilgamesh, not become his life long…

According to The Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh quotes, “There dwells in the forest the fierce monster Humbaba, You and I shall kill him and wipe out something evil from the land” (48).

Despite the luxurious description, the city has nothing supernatural about it, so it is an ordinary place. Gilgamesh’s strength makes him be out of place in his society, which…
