Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's internal breaking point over More's execution hardens him into the cold political operator who, after Henry's accident, watches Anne's destruction with detached calculation rather than intervention."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The emotional toll of More's death (Cromwell wanting to 'strangle someone') marks the end of Cromwell's moral qualms. In Episode 5, he no longer tries to save the Boleyns but maneuvers against them, having learned that sentiment is a liability.
