  • Gutrune :

    It is Gunther's feminine copy but she has her own traits also. She is more than attractive, the music, which accompanies her appearance, follows her as a fragrant and nostalgic trail, fits her like a fine velvet glove. Sinuous, hesitating, allusive, she contrasts strongly with Brünnhilde's fairly maternal theme. There is an enormous contrast between these successive wives of the hero. This contrast explains the successful chemistry of the love potion. Brünnhilde is deep and "intellectual"; the daughter of Gibich is worldly and superficial.

    Brünnhilde lives on a cliff, she lost everything and she is at the same time proud and humble with Siegfried. On one hand, proud, she reminds him that all the heroes bowed before the virgin, and that the passionate blood of Walkyries runs in her veins and could indeed annihilate him, on the other hand same Gutrune is petrified by the feeling of her insignificance with regard to the hero. She adopts a " low profile " and flatters his macho pride. (I am afraid of you, she says). Too humble, Brünnhilde lowers herself by repeating ceaselessly that she lost all her power. She is only human. Gutrune, in spite of her modesty on display possesses a real status.

    She receives the young man, installed on a throne. Brünnhilde committed three errors: make the hero, drunk with new freedom, feel debt of gratitude, remind him that he is morally chained to the cliff, and above all, she is "overdoing it".

    She insists on passing to him a knowledge, which he does not understand. She is talking to him about things which do not interest him.

    His attraction for her is purely sexual and sensual, anchored in the present time. He owes nothing to Gutrune, and she thinks only of enjoying herself and of "having fun"; Siegfried gladly agrees.

    Brünnhilde is too confident: she sends Siegfried to learn things in the vast world. Gutrune is jealous and suspicious. She has a limited confidence in the faithfulness of her husband.
