How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Katherine's defiant final stand, refusing to accept her loss of status, parallels Anne's ultimate surrender under the canopy of estate. Both queens are brought low by the king's will and Cromwell's machinations. Katherine's pity for Anne's miscarriage becomes tragically ironic as Anne loses everything, including her life."
