^^^Hmm...still pondering...I guess what I was getting at (I'm just being real here, though could easily be wrong...usually am)... that in operas leitmotifs (or recurring melodies) are oftentimes used/aesthetically employed. It's what I would call the branching out of complexity and the return to the base, the central themes...as in...Oh...I'm here again. Isn't that the pattern of life? That incredible disequilibrium followed by a recurring melody that re-centers you?
If it's all spiraling outward complexity without a return to an inherently familiar theme, then the listener/reader gets lost. Isn't that why even pop songs have verses followed by familiar choruses?
Just asking...

You can't hate me more than I hate myself. I win.
