Tablet IV was mostly a type of demonstration of Enkindu and Gilgamesh forming a true bond and developing a real connection in which they can see each other as allies and friends.
On the way to kill Huwawa, Gilgamesh showed his vulnerable side and exhibited the fact that he is anything but perfect (what everyone has set him out to be). It turns out, Gilgamesh is anything but the close, perfect-fit of the ideal, faultless, and altogether perfectly-chemically-programmed human being.
During the entire trip to the Cedar Forest, Gilgamesh reveals his insecurities by acting very paranoid with every single dream he had. Every morning, he woke up, saying they might as well leave because he had a bad dream and ‘what could that mean?’
Enkidu becomes his friend by helping him and constantly reassuring him that the meaning of those dreams was a good one.
So the friendship starts there, and keeps reinforcing itself when they both manage to achieve to successfully get rid off 5the awful and horrendous Huwawa when it tries to trick them.
So, as sad as it may be to come to know this, The all-mighty, undestructable, gorgeous, Greek God/ Abrecrombie model look-a-like, Gilgamesh, is actually not all what he is seen to be… Oh, well.
We still love him.

- Me - The Rationalistic Loony, the Very Wise Fool, the Extremely Mean person who will help you out. The Sadly Happy girl, the Angrily Laughing Cynic, the Closet Romantic, and an All time Believer who's Scepticism gets in the way. I smile at the angry, cry for the happy and sing to the deaf. I study a f t e r exams and s l e e p during class... (ok that bit just snuck it's way in there... not really true) I dance without music, write on hands and decide before the after and after the before... I choose to be complicated, I choose to not conform.. I choose to be me, for lack of a better choice.
