BA # 1 (Enkidu)

1.) Enkidu first appers in the text in book one, page 74, canto 2, lines 1-6.
2.) A brief physical description of Enkidu's chraracter, he was created by clay, extreemly tall almost as tall as Gilgamesh, strong with hard rock like muscles, and hairy. Enkidu had a kind hearted personalty he seemed to be the type of person that wanted to make everyone happy no matter what.
3.) Enkidu's character can be compared to Gilgamesh's character because they both face the same trails but they are differnent because Enkidu is a character that is more likely to think things through before taking action. Gilgamesh is a charcter that is more likley to take action without any contemplation. "Enkidu said, "But how can any man dare to enter the Cedar Forest?
It is sacred to Enlil. Hasn't he declared it's entrance forbidden, hasn't he put Humbaba there to terrify men?..."(92).
4.) I would consider Enkidu a hero because he is brave and faces death with Gilgamesh even after he said he didn't think that it was a good idea to go against Humbaba he still stood by his friends side. He is also very selfless because he put his life on the line for Gilgamesh durring the fight against Humbaba and the fight against the bull of heaven. The main reason why I consider Enkidu as a hero is because I think of him as Gilgamesh's side kick like Batman and Robin. Enkidu is Gilgamesh's hero,without Enkidu Gilgamesh would not have been able to win the battle with Humbaba or the bull.
