Victoria Escamilla 10/16/18 English 9       I blame Ishtar, and the other gods at the council because, Ishtar was the reason because the Bull of Heaven was sent down for example in tablet 6 it states , “ Give me the Bull of Heaven father, she insisted I want to trample Gilgamesh the arrogant one, the Bull of Heaven will not only go after Gilgamesh warned Anu”. A way the gods at the council were to blame because in tablet 7 it states “ one of these two must die let it be Enkidu”. These gods are the reason of Enkidu’s death because, Ishtar convinced her father to give her the Bull of Heaven to attack Gilgamesh but was warned the Bull wouldn’t only go after Gilgamesh, but she didn’t care, and Enkidu killing the Bull of Heaven was the reason the council wanted to kill Enkidu.

This is because the final moments of Enkidu, and Gilgamesh were that, although they defeated the Bull of Heaven the next day Enkidu, and Gilgamesh were at the council planned by the gods of heaven to see which one would die, out of, Enkidu, and Gilgamesh, which at the end they chose Enkidu to die.

Both characters are very strong characters. For example in the text it states on tablet 1 “ Gilgamesh strongest of all!” And Enkidu it says also in tablet 1 “ The goddess Aruru... fashioned a wild man named Enkidu”. Although both characters are a little alike they are also different as well, for example in the text it states that Gilgamesh abused his power and strength for example in tablet 1 it states “ He ripped sons from their fathers and demanded virgins from their husbands on their wedding nights” another quote to show that Gilgamesh abused his power was also in tablet 1,”His tyranny and savagery grew. The women and old ones complained to the gods,”shouldn’t Gilgamesh be our shepherd, the pr...
