I need short essay for my humanities class with around 400 words. I have two topic and i need to write for one of them:
1.Although the poem focuses on war (an activity normally associated with men) there seems to be much attention paid to women as well in this tale. From what we can tell in the portion of the text we have read, what sort of value are women given in this culture? How is this similar or different from the role they played in ancient Mesopotamia, the land of Gilgamesh?
2.What role does honor and duty play within this ancient society? What do these concepts mean for men and women in their roles as husbands, wives, sons, mothers, soldiers, kings, etc.? How is this similar or different from what we saw in Gilgamesh?
Thank you.
