Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"More’s warning about Bilney’s arrest and the implication that Cromwell is vulnerable directly causes Johane’s fear in Episode 3: she asks Cromwell if he is afraid because More is now targeting Bainham. The earlier threat has tangible consequences in Cromwell’s private life."
