Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's silent observation of the court's abandonment of Wolsey at Esher hardens his pragmatic resolve, which he later demonstrates by dismissing Johane's superstitious fears about prophecies and arrests. His ability to detach from emotional fears stems from his firsthand experience of the ruthless political realities."
