Assignment:
Watch the video linked to you above, and answer 7 of the following questions:
1) Elaborate, now, on the similarities between Enkidu's experience with Shahmat and Adam and Eve's experience in the Garden of Eden from Genesis.
2) Elaborate on any questions from Tablet I you already responded to after watching the video lecture. For example, elaborate further on how Gilamesh and Enkidu (initially) differ? How does Enkidu's relationship with nature begin to shift in this tablet, etc. I will ask such a question as this repeatedly throughout the semester--after watching the video lecture, simply add to one of your previous responses.
3) In our discussion of Tablet II: what does water symbolize in literature?
4) In Tablet II--why "wind"? Everything we--humans--do--is....but "wind" according to Gilgamesh?
5) According to Sigmund Freud--father of modern psychology (psychoanalysis)--what do our dreams represent?
6) As suggested in the video lecture--begin to "psychoanalyze" Gilgamesh: given the details of his dreams and Freud's theory of dream interpretation: why these dreams...now? What insight do they offer into Gilgamesh's psychology?
7) Elaborate on any question you responded to for Tablet V--the killing of Humbaba. More ideas? further complication? alternative readings or interpretations?
