During one of his last nights alive, Enkidu described to Gilgamesh the process of death and how he would be drawn into the darkness to the realm of the dead , where "There is the house whose inhabitants sit in darkness; dust is their food and clay their meat. They are dressed like birds with wings to cover themselves, they see no light , they sit in darkness” (Gilgamesh, 14) This idea of ​​passing into a life beyond darkness can be seen as liminal for Enkidu because it is something he has not yet done, but). something he is moving toward while he is dying At this point, Enkidu cannot be considered fully alive, because he is about to die, but he has not entered the world. of the dead, he only saw it in his dreams, which could also be considered a liminal state of humans.
