Nether World, no justice

It seems to be that Nether World is just like the world today. Not fair and unjust. Depending of the thing you have or in this case how many sons you have, you are treated in a certain way and have a higher or lower range. As Enkidu told Gilgamesh how was it in Nether World he described how the men that had 1, 2, 3, ....7 sons were treated. It is evident that the men that had more sons had much more priviledges, in today's world the ones that have more money have more priviledges, it is the same principle. Gilgamesh reflects the society that has been separated into classes since the beggining of times and even though we try to fight it, it is probably always going to be that way.

There is something else that got my attention, how come Enkidu becomes Gilgamesh servant and how is it possible that they can talk. Enkidu was supposed to be dead while Gilgamesh was alive. Since it is an epic, everythign is possible but an explaination is needed.

If I analyse the whole novel and draw a conclution about it, it would be that it pretty much reflects the society we live in, it is the first novel written and it obviously has a different way of looking at it, but if you think about it, it describes a lot of today's issues. Tyranny, the will of power and greed for more, the desire to be younger, the fear of death, the distance to nature (gilgamesh) and the endless war we have with it, trying to conquer it and rule it. The religion, and believes. It is a good novel, it is a little difficult to understand at the beginning but then you get the hang of it. Many subjects and doubts could be drawn from the novel.
