1. The Epic of Gilgamesh
Examine Enkidu’s curse of Shamhat when he is dying (Tablet 7). Did Shamhat wrong him as
he claims? Was it good that he became civilized? Why or why not? Why does he blame
Shamhat more than Gilgamesh? Is this despair in the face of death? Use multiple examples
and explanations for your answer from the textbook. *** Textbook Source required: The
