Both are bitter‚ jealous‚ and seemingly unbothered by their losses (but their aloofness is also what gives away their feelings).

Jill Seymour HST 197 Dr. Smith September 17‚ 2012 Text Analysis of The Epic of Gilgamesh The question I thought about while reading this text was what the role is for women‚ and how their actions and descriptions reveal Mesopotamian attitudes concerning gender.
