A Different Story

In this last part of Gilgamesh I was not able to find it continuous to the story. It talks about Gilgamesh’s drumstick which falls into the underworld. He sends Enkidu to recover it which was very strange because he is supposed to be dead. Maybe what the author is trying to show us is that there is a place where death goes and that you have to be careful not to fall in. Really I did not like this part and felt as if it was a very bad ending since it sort of destroyed all the teachings I had taken from the rest of the book. It is as if it were a different story within the book, to which I have not found any important meaning. The teachings and ways of life that I learned in the book were totally different from the ending.
