Line 141:
* [[The Power of Love]]: In the ''Ring'', though Sieglinde is rescued from Hunding, and Brünnhilde from the [[Johnny Cash|Ring of Fire]], Sieglinde's love does not save Siegmund, and Brünnhilde's actually leads to Siegfried's death, and both the ladies (like everyone except the Rhine-daughters, and possibly the Nibelungs) die under rather unpleasant circumstances. (A monologue in an early version of the text, in which Brünnhilde specifically invoked [[The Power of Love]] before burning herself to death, was deliberately cut by the composer because it no longer represented his philosophical ideas.)
* [[Public Domain Artifact]]: Averted; the Ring (or rather, any of its prototypes) was not a well-known artifact before Wagner.
* [[Ravens and Crows]]: A pair of these are intelligence gatherers for Wotan, bird-watching whom proves fatal to Siegfried.
* [[Reforged Blade]]: Nothung, in ''Siegfried''.
