lesson has been taught. The journey for the plant was in actuality a lesson in humility for Gilgamesh. It teaches us, just as it taught our hero, that there is no escaping our own humanity. See how the dead and the sleeping resemble each other. Seen together, they are the image of death. The simple man and the ruler resemble each other. The face of the one will darken like that of the other. (Gilgamesh 64)
