The death that will cause a change

Ishtar, the goddess becomes absolutly crazy for Gilgamaesh, but hhim not for her. This is typical, always happens, has happened to me and when one is rejected the only thing that one desires to do is to punish the man, punish him so hard that he would not ever reject the love of a women. Sometimes is viceversa. So that's excatly what Ishtar does, punish Gilgamesh, unsuccesfully!

What does it really mean? Gilgamesh is a valuable king, will not take advantage of a goddess, because he respects her. Ishtar represents a goddess without the values a divine character should have. She is jealous and impulsive, she acts based on her negative feelings. She wishes death for Gilgamesh, a person that almost everybody adores, the hero... But she decides that everybody had to grieve because he has to die. Goddeses shouldn't act that way, it laks moral.

Enkidu most die, without a logical explaniation. He most simply dies, becuase the gods decided so. Gilgamesh is left behind. When somebody dies the ones that stay grieve the most, they loose. It is a selfish feeling, we cry because WE ourselves don't have the person for ourselves.
