I

Gilgamesh was the king of Uruk. He is also 2/3 god and 1/3 human. Enkidu was born on the Steppe. Enkidu was an animal and a man. Gilgamesh had his people rebuild the walls of Uruk, but then he wouldn't take care of them and they would fall down. So the people of Uruk started to hate him because he would make them build the walls and they would always fall down.
A hunter saw Enkidu letting out a trap that he had set. So the hunter got mad and told his boy to go to Gilgamesh and tell him what Enkidu was doing. Gilgamesh listened and sent a prostitute to sleep with Enkidu so the animals would be ashamed of him. The prositute had Enkidu sleep with her and when they awoke he felt a wave of lonliness. All the animals have left him.
Gilgamesh said that he woke up from a dream and said to his mother that a star had fallen from the sky and the people of Enkidu stared at it and he got jealous and tried to carry it away but he was too weak. He was worried because he has never dreamt like that before. Ninson said, " Your equal is the star which fell, as if a sign from Heaven had been sent which is too heavy but which you will try to lift and drive away, and fail." (p.19) He said that he never fails at anything. He had another dream of an ax and when he tried to lift that he also failed.
Enkidu again woke up next to the prostitue where he eventually got use to her body and she asked him why he still wanted to run with the animals. She said that she would lead him to Uruk where he belongs, he is a human now, not an animal.
The birthright of Gilgamesh is to sleep with the bride before she is married. Enkidu didn't that was right. So when they were going to the Family House to pick the bride, Enkidu stood in the way of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh got very upset because the people were cheering for someone other than him. So he lunged at Enkidu and they got into a very huge fight. After they faught for a while, they stopped and looked at eachother in the eyes and saw themselves, once it was all silence they burst out laughing, and from there on, became soulmates.
