Summary
The motifs from TheRing used in the analysis of Wotan's monologue set out in Table 10.7b are listed below. The numbers attached to each theme refer to those in the ‘Thematic Guide’ in Spencer and Millington (2000). The motif names in this appendix and Table 10.7b are not Wagner's but interpretative names, albeit broadly agreed by most commentators.
