Death

Death is always a hard time for everyone. From an average family, to a royal one (like Gilgamesh and Enkidu), its never easy to hide the pain. I can't tell you exactly how it feels to loose a loved one because I never have. I know though, that a loss like this should rip out a part of you that could never be replaced. The best thing to do, is to seek the people who love you, and ponder the thought that death only leads to a better place. There is more than one way to be with someone, it's not always physically, but also spiritualy and through the heart. Afterall, you do love with the heart, not with the eyes.

This theme relates to the story of Gilgamesh beacause the gods punish the two "brothers" by sending an illness to Enkidu. Both of them suffer for mant days until the wild man's time came. In his honor, Gilgamesh built a statue of his brother, so that the good man will always be remembered.
