Enkidu Description:

Brave: . “and Enkidu fought the bull and took the bull by the horns…” (p. 34).
Optimist: “But Enkidu once again told Gilgamesh that the dream he had dreamed that night was fortunate.” (p. 24)
Environmentalist (Animal-wise): “He has unset my traps and filled my hunting pits; the creatures of the grassland get away free. The wild man sets them free. (p. 6)
Easily succumbs to temptation: “The hairy-bodied man came over to her, and lay down on her, and then she showed him the things a woman knows how to do. For seven days Enkidu in his wonder lay with her in pleasure…” (p. 8)
Needs a permanent companion (non-solitary): “Then Enkidu, whos heart was beginning to know about itself and longed for a companion…” (p. 9)
