Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Henry's blame of Katherine for the failed marriage ('She lies in between me and the woman I love') and his subsequent neglect lead directly to her lonely death and the hollow funeral at Peterborough, where her corpse is displayed as a political relic."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Katherine's funeral is the final act in a trajectory set by Henry's hostility: the verbal condemnation in Episode 104 becomes an institutional erasure, with the funeral serving as a somber bookend to her loss of status.
