Answer:

Epic feature: the active role of a god: ".... the voice of the God..". This is the voice of Shamash's, the God of the sun. God is answering Gilgamesh's request since he has engaged in a furious battle against Humbaba. Humbaba is the guardian of the tree forest Gilgamesh and his close friend Enkidu have attacked. Gilgamesh needs help to defeat Humbaba and asks God to help him.

Impact on the epic's plot: Some Gods help Gilgamesh but some others God punish him. These constant interactions with different Gods make Gilgamesh face death. He learns he will die since immortality does not exist. A man dies but humankind will not.

Explanation:

Then, from heaven, the voice of the god

called to Gilgamesh: "Hurry, attack,

attack Humbaba while the time is right,

before he enters the depths of the forest,

before he can hide there and wrap himself

in his seven auras with their paralyzing glare.

He is wearing just one now. Attack him! Now!"

–Gilgamesh: A New English Translation,

Write an essay that makes a prediction about what will happen in the portions of

kirill115 [55]

As we do not know which point in the novel you are at, it is impossible for us to determine what will happen in the portions of the novel that you have not read. However, we can try to make some general assumptions of what you might be thinking about the text.

In the novel Frankenstein, we quickly learn that Dr. Frankenstein is obsessed with achieving glory through science. He wants to create life, and is arrogant about his ability to do so. As this is a horror book, and as it is set during the Romantic period, we can assume that this obsession with science will become problematic and lead to tragedy.

Moreover, once the monster is created, we can see that it very quickly has an affinity towards humans. He wants to learn from them, and he is even able to learn language. Based on this, we can most likely conclude that the creature will be unhappy, as he will never be accepted by the people that he so admires and loves.
