Gilgamesh seems pretty lost without Enkidu. "Must I die too?" Gilgamesh is pretty much feeling the fear of death in his belly. (Tablets IX, page 48.) How will he able to survive without his soul-brother? In these two chapters he proves that by going on a terrible journey he wants to overcome his fears and search for eternal life. Gilgamesh is trying to show us that even the strongest of all fear, but even fear can be overcame.
Hope is the only thing stronger than fear. That is said in The Hunger Games and proven in Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh is totally freaked out. He loves Enkidu but doesn't want to join him in the other life. He's actually looking for a god to help him look for the key of an infinite life. He was really scared at first, but then as the story goes on, Gilgamesh get stronger and goes on a journey that no human has ever done before.
Have you ever heard the song Memories? If I didn't know better I would say it was made for Gilgamesh and Enkidu. It's about how a man loses his girl and practically wants to die because he couldn't live without her. Gilgamesh and Enkidu's relationship was very very close, too close in mi opinion. He lost his brother but then showed us how he was able to move on and be remembered as Gilgamesh the great forever.
