critical theory with slavoj zizek: Act III of Wagner’s Siegfried is the most concise statement of the Oedipal problematic. …Siegfried was looking for a woman who would be a symmetric supplement to man, with whom she would form a balanced dignifying dyad. And what he found instead was an unbearable lack/excess. What he discovered is the excess/lack…that is, the fact that Woman and Man are not complementary but asymmetrical, that there is no yin-yang balance, that there is no sexual relationship.
