Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The failed assassination on de Coligny (Episode 24) parallels the escalating paranoia and fragility of Huguenot safety in Episode 25. Nicholas Muss’s role in both episodes—initially reacting to violence and then acting as a stabilizing presence—illustrates the theme of precarious protection."
