Gilgamesh Endiku compare and contrasting



HOMEWORK


The two characters are similar and different in ways. Enkidu is polite, brave and fragile and Gilgamesh is Big headed, selfish and dominant. Enkidu and Gilgamesh are both dominant and energetic but they differ in personalities." Arrogant, he believed everything belonged to him. He ripped sons from their fathers ad demanded virgins from their husbands on their wedding nights." Gilgamesh wants control over everything and wants to rule the "world".  Enkidu is barren and really didn't care much.
