Again the question, "What about Enkidu?" comes to my mind. Enkidu was chosen to die instead of Gilgamesh. Frankly I think Gilgamesh should have died, which I suppose you already know if you have read my last review. I apparently have a grudge against Gilgamesh. Why? I don't know. All I know is that Gilgamesh is a wimp, at least at most times. To me Enkidu was the stronger one, the one who should've lived. I dislike how the gods decided to take away his life instead of Gilgamesh's.
There is one thing I like about Gilgamesh however and that is his kindness and how he isn't afraid of showing his grief. What he did to have Enkidu's name remembered was generous. I kind of now feel a little sorry for him now. He is alone without companion now that Enkidu is gone and he is grieving in sadness and loneliness.
The following clip is of Sherlock Holmes and his partner in crime. The both of them remind me of Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Both pairs of friends are good friends, almost like brothers and watch out for each other.
