The circle-motif, I think, is indeed central to both content and
structure of GR. Just think of the cyclic narrative technique of very
many of the episodes. I prefer calling it a "mandala structure", as it
infers the influence of Carl Jung which I find is rather strong. Should
anyone be interested in hearing more on this very issue, I'd be glad to
provide the info.
