  • You mean PART4 of the video

    Siegfried is not a superman he was not fearless - he is an innocent abroad who has not experienced fear. When he does he calls for his mother -twice!! He'd really looking for a man to love but learns how to love a woman - a task he finds daunting. But she is not only a woman she is *the* Feminine in himself and in the whole work.

    Wagner was truly an artist 100 years ahead of his time. He could project the very best and the very worst of humanity.

  • "Das ist kein Mann!"

    Oh, Siegfried...

  • @borinpc Smelling salts, of course. Though, maybe Mime never taught that to Siegfried?

  • Schott Excerpts at: 1- 5m9s; Good Luck all violinists!

  • My point was this boy Siegfried is not the hero Hitler and the Nazi's thought he was - he is a confused youth easily misled by the powerful his only hope for himself is to find a friend - that's why he fights Wotan - he simply sees no point to someone trying to stop him find that friend. It is his innocence and lack of experience that makes him interesting - his fall is the fall of the ancient pagan world and the rise of modern world of Hagan which we like Brumhilde need redemption from.

    In fact, Siegfried was the hero who did not know fear; he could kill a dragon without experiencing this feeling; it is interesting though, that he discovers fear just after having passed through a circle of fire, to meet the Woman herself...

  • @xav71176 ...with a dwarf who claimed to be both his father and mother. That must have been the beginning of Siegfried's confusion about gender.

  • @AtheneNikephoros

    He's been raised in a hut in the forest, poor thing ;)

  • @xav71176 That would be the prologue of Gotterdammerung. :)

  • Shut up Siggy and kiss her!
