Choose one depiction of death from two different works we've covered in Weeks 1-4 to compare or contrast. For example, you could discuss the similarities/differences to Odysseus' treatment of Elpenor to Gilgamesh's reaction to Enkidu's death. Don't forget about secondary characters. You might consider how Tahmineh reacts to the death of Sohrab compared to the citizens' of Ithaca reaction to the slaughter of the suitors. What difference is there about the cultures from the way they react to death, their rituals of burial, or their view of immortality?
