Description

This book examines nearly every measure of The Ring by analyzing the uses of Leitmotives and how they relate one to another. Although it pinpoints thousands of individual moments, its real value lies in enhancing our appreciation of the work as a whole: to gain a deeper sense of the overall narrative sweep, its dynamic unity, and, in the end, insights into its meanings.
