Traumatic Severing

Following up on Madoka's inversion of the Oedipal paradigm, it just occurred to me that Homura's forced separation from Madoka at the end of the series feels vaguely Oedipal? Madoka has taken up the ultimate mantle of Motherhood, from which Homura is traumatically severed and towards which Homura spends the rest of her life oriented.

...hopefully this will help me untangle some of the pregnancy and birth imagery in Rebellion.
