A question to consider:
What does it mean to be a friend?
Considering the fact that most of you probably didn't read the first 5 tablets from The Epic of Gilgamesh that I posted, I'm hoping that the questions that will be posted these next few weeks, will spur you on to do so.
Text Analysis:
1. What do we learn about friendship from the Epic of Gilgamesh? What was Gilgamesh like in the beginning of the story?
2. What was Enkidu like when we first met him?
3. What changes Enkidu?
4. What changes Gilgamesh?
Cultural Analysis:
1. What does our culture believe about friendship? Where do we see friendship in our culture today?
2. How have perversions like homosexuality destroyed friendship in our culture?
