Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 5, Norris appears disguised as a Moor — the exotic, the other, the one whose identity is masked. In Episode 6, Smeaton's forced confession lists Norris as one of Anne's lovers — the ultimate unmasking. The man who once controlled courtly theater (welcome Cromwell in costume) is now stripped of all disguise, exposed to public execution."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The masque theme of disguise and revelation is completed: Norris moves from being the one who orchestrates appearances (costume, theatrical welcome) to being the victim of truth-production (confession, trial, execution). His trajectory mirrors the court's movement from performance to raw power.
