He was a feminist, a revolutionary, an anarchist, a progressive. Gotterdammerung ends with Brunnhilde throwing a firebrand on the world of the gods and suicidally destroying Western civilisation.

>It is a great shame that the Germans no longer beat their women; if that custom were to return, we should experience a revolution in the literature of today.

Wagner I could scarcely tolerate... a form of musical drama that assigns meaning and accent far more often
to the orchestra than to the voices...

Jokes aside, Gotterdammerung has the greatest ending line in all of literature. I'm surprised a doomsday cult hasn't used it yet.

>Alles Ew’gen
>sel’ges Ende,
>wiss’t ihr, wie ich’s gewann?
>Trauernder Liebe
>tiefstes Leiden
>schloß die Augen mir auf:
>enden sah ich die Welt. –

>The blessed end
>of all things eternal,
>do you know how I attained it?
>Grieving love’s
>profoundest suffering
>opened my eyes for me:
>I saw the world end. –

Nietzsche was disappointed by the fact that Wagner chose not to set it to music, as am I, but Wagner made clear that it was the intended ending in literary form, and always published it.
