How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"In Episode 1, Richard stands silently as Cromwell explains he needs a Parliament seat to protect Wolsey from being killed. In Episode 2, Richard actively argues that Cromwell should let Wolsey go, saying 'it's time to let the cardinal go,' showing his evolution from silent witness to vocal strategist."
