Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Gregory recalls a childhood memory of pretending to throw Francis Weston out of a window at Wolf Hall, directly echoing the playful, mock-violent snowman scene in Episode 5 where he and Richard made snowmen of the Pope and cardinals with a carrot phallus. In both, Gregory participates in or circles around a threat of harm that is not meant to be real."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This connection traces Gregory's moral awakening: in Episode 5 he is simply engaging in boyish irreverence, but in Episode 6 he explicitly states that he would not really have wanted to kill Weston, showing a deepening moral sensitivity as he confronts real political violence. It marks his growing awareness of the weight of lethal power.
