Enkidu's Death

      The person I blame for Enkidu’s death is the trapper. The reason is because he showed Enkidu to Gilgamesh and lead him to everything. Then in Table Two Gilgamesh invites Enkidu to join him on his journey. On this trip Enkidu helped out Gilgamesh since he knew the woods. Before Gilgamesh killed Humbaba, he cursed Enkidu. In Table Seven the Then Gods of Heaven held a council. it was said "One of the two must die" and then Enlil said "Let it be Enkidu." This was the death of Enkidu. I blame the trapper because if he didn't show Enkidu to Gilgamesh he wouldn't have died but wouldn't have met and done the things he did. The saga of Enkidu answers our essential question because Enkidu wasn't always heroic but he did some things that in the end made him heroic like standing with Gilgamesh and helping kill the bull of heaven and Humbaba with Gilgamesh.
