Which explanation best connects this illustration to the point
being made?
read the point that is being made and the illustration that
follows it.
point: gilgamesh is a courageous leader.
o
illustration: enkidu is frightened of humbaba and wants to
turn back, but he tells gilgamesh, "you go into the dreadful
forest, you kill humbaba and win the fame."
enkidu also tells gilgamesh that he will return now to
great-walled uruk" and that all men will know he has been
a coward.
although enkidu fears for his own life, he is thoughtless
and does not necessarily fear for the lives of others.
enkidu is deeply fearful of humbaba, and he strongly
believes that gilgamesh has the courage and ability to
defeat humbaba alone.
this proves that enkidu does not believe that anyone can
defeat humbaba, even if he thinks gilgamesh should at
least try.
