Document Summary
With enkidu"s conversion into a civilized human, it can easily be seen that he. Gains and loses with his transformation from a wild beast. After the harlot spent six days and seven nights with enkidu his knees stood still, while his beasts went away. Enkidu was too slow, he could not run as before, but he had gained reason and expanded his understanding (104). Enkidu also gains and experiences in my opinion one of most valued things civilized humans posses, love and friendship. This experience of love and friendship is seen when ninsun takes enkidu as her adopted son by saying, mighty. Enkidu, though you are no issue of my womb, you little ones shall be among the devotees of gilgamesh i herewith take enkidu, as my adopted son, may gilgamesh treat him well (114). Enkidu obviously losses when his fate is sealed in him having to die.
