Feeling Alone in the Darkness

Have you ever feel so lonely that the only thing you can think about is being with your best friend? Being in a dark place where there's nothing but yourself. Gilgamesh is alone now, Enkidu is gone. "Enkidu has died. Must I die too?Must Gilgamesh be like that?"Have you feel guilty of doing something and others blame your friend? Gilgamesh is feeling a similar guiltiness, he thinks Enkidu didn't deserve to die. He feels that he's the one that should, feeling completely responsible for his death. In the darkness being completely alone with no companion anymore, Gilgamesh is always thinking about Enkidu always reminding himself and Urshanabi Enkidu's bravery and facility in the Cedar Forest. Gilgamesh lost a companion who loved... how would you feel if you lost your greatest companion?

Gilgamesh is trying to protect himself by hiding him with beasts skin. I connect this to Beauty and The Beast, because the beast is always hiding himself from who he really is, just like Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh is trying to hide his fear, but by also doing this he is showing his honor. Gilgamesh continues his journey until finally he sees water, the sea. No one has ever come back when they try to go across it.  Gilgamesh is decided to take the risk and what ever it takes to complete his journey only thinking on Enkidu his most leal companion.
