G-MESH
What I think being 'human' means is how you act, and not necessarily the way that we are made. Being human doesn't just include walking upright, our brains, social life, and language. Gilgamesh in the beginning shows a side where he is very powerful and strong. He doesn't care for anyone else but himself. Later, Gilgamesh meets Enkidu, who he becomes great friends with. Enkidu has an effect on Gilgamesh. You start to see that Gilgamesh is becoming more 'human' like by just being an all round better person. He turns down a woman named Ishtar, this shows he is more human like because in the real world today most people would not do what Gilgamesh did. I think he finally notices how some people are just bad and in the end are going to hurt you Like Ishtar would do to Gilgamesh. Both Enkidu and Gilgamesh are both exceptional people by showing that you can help someone change to be more human.
