Â Star Wars and Wagner's Ring

The one, Richard Wagner's Ring is undoubtedly the peak of musical romanticism, and by many praised as the greatest work of art ever produced.
The parallel here is Wagner's presentation of parts of the Ring as one man shows for an inner circle of friends and followers.
Wagner was not the originator of the idea and use of leitmotifs, but he was the composer who perfected the compositional technique of making the leitmotifs the basis of a large, musical structure.

Among commonly ascribed themes are the setting aside of, or dying of, the gods for the emergence of modern man. Siegfried thus becomes a Nietzschean "superman" freed of illusion.
Like the psyche, Wagner's work has had influence for both good and evil.

Â Bulwer-Lytton's Harold

One of those influenced by Schopenhauer was Richard Wagner, who was also, as we know, inspired by Bulwer himself.
He is inspired in this, he says, by "the hope to form a mighty and numerous raceÂ… that may proceed in their deathless destinies from stage to stage of celestial glory, and rank at last among the nearest ministrants and angels gathered round the Throne of Thrones."..
When Nietzsche began to be discovered in England people looked for precursors in English literature, and one of those hit upon was Bulwer.

He stands a chronicler of destruction, an epic maker with his hand on the mike he leans down to the grid and whispers all the fine fluidlike characters, malleable as hot plastic, explode like hot wires; wisps blow across this picture from my one soul dreaming.
These shattered souls are hung abundantly from a crooked tree.
