Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The grotesque transformation of the Earthling prisoner into a docile duplicate (Part 1) parallels Meglos's transformation of his own identity to manipulate the Tigellans (Part 2). Both involve the erasure of individuality and the creation of a false vessel for hidden purposes."
