But in the context of the specific question you wanted to discuss here - what is the nature of the "scenes with the gods" and their difference from the "scenes with the mortals"? - it is perhaps more useful to concentrate on the CHARACTER Siegfried rather than the WORK "Siegfried".
I've said already that there are two vulgar misconceptions and misevaluations concerning "The Ring" which can help one to identify in a split second a shallow idiot who has no real understanding of the work. You happen, not surprisingly, to subscribe to both.
I've already talked about the typical vulgar misconception that you hold on the musicological level: namely, that there is nothing musically interesting in "The Valkyrie" except "The Ride".
The vulgar misconception that corresponds to this on the dramaturgical level - and that you have also stated that you hold - is that Siegfried (and not, for example, his father Siegmund) is the centre, hero and protagonist of the tetralogy.
