HW: Opposites Do Attract

The first tablets of Gilgamesh reminded me of Blair and Serena from Gossip Girl, Serena and Blair have completely opposite personalities but both of them "rule" Manhattans Upper East Side. I think Serena is like Enkidu because both can be very powerful but decide to be serene and calm instead of destroying everything that comes in their ways. What I mean by this is that when the temple prostitute took from Enkidu the possibility of roaming near the water hole with the animals he did not destroy her he simply moved on and decided which battles where worth fighting. Serena did the same when Blair did not let her model for her mom's fashion line but instead of fighting she moved on. Blair has the same sense of superiority Gilgamesh has, both need to be in power and need to feel they "rule". For example when Serena is regaining her social status as Queen Bee Blair feels like she has to knock her down a spot. Gilgamesh also fought against Enkidu when he stepped on his way to the bridals room. Another thing Serena and Enkidu have in common is that when they believe in something they fight for it. For example Serena fought for Dan even though he was with Blair at the moment because she still loved him. Enkidu did the same by stepping in the way of Gilgamesh going into the bridal room. The characters are all alike and different in many ways but I think Blair and Gilgamesh and Serena and Enkidu have very similar personalities.
