* ForWantOfANail: Wotan spends the whole saga trying to keep the ring from falling back into Alberich's hands -- except that all he had to do was return the ring to the Rhinemaidens, which he couldn't do, because he had to pay Fasolt and Fafner for building Valhalla by giving them the ring; and the main reason he built Valhalla was because Fricka hounded him into it; and the only reason she did that was to keep him home and hopefully stop him from running around cheating on her -- so, in the final analysis, the whole mess could have been avoided if Wotan had just kept his dick in his pants.

* ChasteSeparatingSword: In ''Götterdämmerung'', Siegfried is to have spent one night with Brünnhilde before delivering her to Gunther, to whom she is now betrothed. In accordance with this custom, he placed his sword Nothung between himself and her as "between East and West [lies] the North."

* WeaponsBreakingWeapons: This happens twice. In ''Die Walküre'', Wotan intervenes in the duel between Siegmund and Hunding by destroying Siegmund's sword Notung with his spear, allowing Hunding to kill the disarmed Siegmund. In ''Siegfried'', Siegfried uses his reforged sword Notung to break Wotan's spear as he attacks Wotan in revenge for his father's death, foreshadowing the doom of the gods in the following opera.
