163 Words1 Pages
In Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh and Enkidu show a bond becoming stronger as friends. They both vowed that they'd stay together always no matter what the obstacle (p.27). This is basically saying they'll stay strong with each other through thick and thin. Gilgamesh says “Don't be afraid. We are together. There is nothing we should fear.” (p.28). This demonstrates how Gilgamesh feels safe with Enkidu and comforts him. Gilgamesh feels what Enkidu feels where they have an understanding of each other. Gilgamesh states “He saw in his friend that pain he had seen before and asked what it was that troubled him”(p.31) This demonstrates Gilgamesh’s understanding as he can relate in a way and help Enkidu out. Enkidu yells out “Gilgamesh don't trust him!” (p.40-41).
