Gilgamesh: His Journey and His Sexuality

I need someone to answer my discussion post and please go into detail about it. And no plagirism please

Question 1 –

Gilgamesh journeys to find the one thing denied to man – immortality. The bigger purpose of his journeys, however, is to help him become a good king. Discuss Gilgamesh as an epic hero. Does his story include many of the steps listed in the monomyth discussion? Gilgamesh’s life is a larger journey made up of several smaller ones. How does he change, and how do his journeys help bring about this change? Be specific about the meaning of the different steps in his journeys. Overall, is his journey a success or a failure? What does Gilgamesh say about kingship – ie, what make a good ruler?

Question 2 –

Discuss sexuality in Gilgamesh. What different roles do women play in the story? How are these roles similar to/different than those played by women we discussed in the creation myths? Discuss the relationship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Would you describe it as homosexual? Compare the relationship of Gilgamesh and Enkidu to that of Gilgamesh and women in general. Remember that this is a translation, and the words used were chosen for a specific reason. How does this affect our reading of sexuality in the story? Discuss.
