Both Gilgamesh (after the death of Enkidu) and the narrator of
Ecclesiastes in the
Hebrew Bible
express profound despair at the meaninglessness of human life
that ends inevitably in death, but they come to very different
solutions to this basic human situation. Explore how each of
them despairs and how each comes to his "solution," as well as
what each solution is.
