Describe, by using examples from the texts, the original relationships established in each story between
nature and Adam and Eve, between nature and Enkidu. What happens to disrupt these relationships? Are
the events that disrupt the relationships similar in any way? What is the role of knowledge in each
instance? What results when the relationship in each instance is disrupted? In what ways are the humans
of the creation story and Enkidu of Gilgamesh similar? In what ways do they differ? Do these similarities or
differences have any bearing on what results after their relationships with nature are disrupted
