Readers Blog for Tablets IV and V
This is a very short part of the book that tells us how Enkidu and Gilgamesh went through the mountains, into the cedar forest and finally killed the demon. It has almost no description at all about the battle nor the mountains or the woods. I think it should be more descriptive because if not you don't really know what happens and how did it happen so fast.
Also it does not help much that half or even more of that part of the book is very repetitive like when Gilgamesh had the dreams and Enkidu told him they were fortunate I thought I was reading the same part because it is exactly the same dialogue and the same setting saying that they liked 50 leagues in 1 day for 3 days, which would be a 3 week walk for an ordinary person.
The book also shows us that even though Gilgamesh is the most powerful man of all he is a really sensitive and scary cat person because he is always scared when he enters the woods and the one that does all ghe work to help them survie is Enkidu by finding the watersprings and a good place to camp. It also shows us that even if Enkidu has no parents or isn't civilized he is the wisest of the 2.
It doesn't matter if it is the first story ever written, I think it should be a little more descriptive and not look like if a 9 year old had narrated because it does not catch my attention and it looks like a really simple story.
