There are several works of writing that are considered “Great Work.” So what precisely is deemed a “Great Work” of fiction, art or other artistic work? What’s suitable for that? What is the meaning of this? Gilgamesh’s Epic is called a “Great Work” regardless of how abstract it is. There are several teachings, concepts and values that are illustrated by the events of this novel. I agree that whenever a piece of art can be connected to a reality, it is called a “Great Work.” The Epic of Gilgamesh was often composed of detailed thinking. Many of the issues or events that have taken place in the Gilgamesh Epic can be used or interpreted in various ways. Not all can be clarified, whether it’s right or wrong. There is indeed a lot of significance conveyed. Many of Gilgamesh’s acts or choices may be viewed as good or evil. It’s all about perspective, and the lack in viewpoint is what makes life complicated. During Gilgamesh’s Story, when Gilgamesh murdered Humbaba, he assumed he was doing something good that was helpful to both him and his subjects. However, Enlil, the god who made Humbaba, the beast of the jungle, saw Gilgamesh’s behavior as a felony. The modern universe, and any human being, comprises of both light and dark elements. Neither individual is flawless and everything is based on the views. That can also leave you in a state of wonder and focus on the meaning of existence. The idea that Gilgamesh did not have everlasting existence, even if he was more a deity than a human person, formed a big theme throughout the entire sense of the novel. I’m not a model or optimistic human being, I have my own dark and light sides.
