What is uta-napishti’s response to gilgamesh? where should he, gilgamesh, go and what should he do? how should gilgamesh understand his own impending death and the death of all humans? if we accept that gilgamesh does gain wisdom as the poet suggests (gilgamesh was "wise in all matters" and had "learnt of everything the sum of wisdom", p. 1), what, exactly, is this wisdom? is this wisdom relevant to us today? what, if anything, do you personally see as lessons of wisdom in the epic of gilgamesh?

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
