How Did Gilgamesh Change

Gilgamesh This epic story of Gilgamesh is truly a mirror image of how society as a whole has been for many generations and most likely will not change at all. Upon reading the story, the most prominent piece of material that stuck out the most, was how the use of a beautiful woman can make a change so great, that men would go to the extreme of eliminating one another just to be the only one lying next to her. Men would even go to the extent to change a law or change a way that they usually would govern things if there were a beautiful woman there to have a solid excuse or reason to make such a thing happen. Women have very well changed since the beginning of time as far as their roles changing from being considered just a stay at

Here in this passage we see the lovely woman boosting Enkidu’s head up to become a god like Gilgamesh. Enkidu did not even have that thought going through his head until the young woman brought it to his attention that he too is as strong as Gilgamesh but less cruel. “Enkidu, abandoned by the animals, returns to her who is now his sole companion; he turns to her in a new way, intellectually attentive to her for the first time, seeking no longer satisfaction but solace, further understanding” (Bailey 139).
