Back to History 8 Gilgamesh questions
This section tells us that man is able to manipulate nature in any way that they want to. We can see this relationship when Gilgamesh enters the cedar forest with Enkidu and kills the demon, and then proceeds to begin cutting down all of the large cedar trees. They construct a huge door to the city from the largest tree in the forest. Shortly after this however, Enkidu falls ill and dies most likely because he assisted Gilgamesh in killing the demon. This illness shows that nature can fight back against man when it is attacked, and usually with great circumstances. In the image below, we can see how Gilgamesh is grieving over his dead friend Enkidu after killing the demon in the forest.
