Protagonist - Gilgamesh was the protagonist.

Characterization - When Hunter's father describes Gilgamesh [not only him but many others] people say that he is both a dream and a nightmare; an angel and a devil at the same time etc. In this case it is the people's viewpoints.

Theme - This book is quite strange from one might expect. It is about the fact that you just can't be immortal. You just can't.

Symbolism - The symbol in this book is probably the fact that you can't be immortal, like the theme. If it is not, most people would think it is Gilgamesh.
