discussion 1 Now that you have finished reading Gilgamesh, please select and discuss either Option (A) or Option (B) in DB #2. Be sure to address each question within the option that you select.  Your response should be a minimum of 250-300 words long.  You must explain/support your responses (a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ with no support/explanation is not acceptable.)  Also remember that you must support your discussion with 1 to 3 quotes from the story.  This means that your response will include in-text citations (so pg/line number, etc.).  Please strive for good grammar, spelling, and punctuation.  In the title of your post, please identify which option you are discussing.  And, finally, remember that you must comment on at least two other students’ posts. Option A:  Discuss the nature of the gods in Gilgamesh.  Do you think the gods are portrayed as good or as evil?  Relatedly, do the gods establish a good toward which humans should strive, or are they merely meddlers in the affairs of humans?  What do you think it means for Gilgamesh to be two-thirds god and one-third man?  How does being part god/part human impact Gilgamesh’s status as a hero in this epic? Option B:  Discuss Enkidu’s curse of Shamhat when he is dying.  Do you think Shamhat wronged Enkidu as he claims?  Relatedly, was it good that Enkidu became civilized?   Why do you think Enkidu blames Shamhat more than Gilgamesh?  Does Enkidu’s curse of Shamhat and/or the Trapper suggest anything about human nature?
