Answer:
The answer to the question, what effect does this repetition have? regarding the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the repetition of the sentence from Gilgamesh to his friend, Enkidu: "dear friend, tell me, what does this mean?", would be, that it shows the level of dependency that Gilgamesh has on Enkidu for guidance and explanations to the dreams that he has; almost as if he needed Enkidu to supply the meanings, and help Gilgamesh comprehend, what is being given to him through his dreams.
Explanation:
"The Epic of Gilgamesh" is an epic poem from ancient Sumer, Mesopotamia, and it is one of the first written texts in human history. It revolves around the true historical figue of Gilgamesh, the Sumerian king of the land of Uruk, in 2100 BC. In this particular sentence, when Gilgamesh constantly requests that his friend Enkidu help him to decipher, and understand, the meanings behind his dreams, it shows that Gilgamesh sees Enkidu as a form of guide, maybe a spiritual one, in whom he trusts wholeheartedly, and without reserve. This repetition of the same sentence shows how dependent Gilgamesh is, and how much he trust his friend´s concept.
It Reinforces Enkidu’s role as Gilgamesh’s Adviser
Further Explanation:
Gilgamesh was a historical king from the Sumerian city of Uruk which is famously known by the name of Iraq in the present world. He was known to be the major hero in Mesopotamian history and he also played the role of protagonist in the Epic of Gilgamesh which was an epic poem written in Akkadian during the second millennium BC. In table four of this poem, Gilgamesh and Enkidu start their journey to the Cedar forest and after every few days in the forest, they both perform a dream ritual.
During that period of time, Gilgamesh has five terrible dreams and he dreams about falling mountains, wild bulls, thunderstorms, etc. Gilgamesh discusses all of his dreams with Enkidu. Whatever is going in the mind of Gilgamesh, he tells Enkidu. Which means he sees Enkidu as his adviser.
