Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In E103, Thomas More personally oversees the torture of heretic James Bainham using the Skeffington's Daughter. In E104, More himself becomes the persecuted victim, refusing the Oath of Succession and facing imprisonment, mirroring the suffering he once inflicted."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This reversal of roles—from torturer to victim—underscores the theme of moral consequence and the precariousness of power. More's unyielding orthodoxy in E103 puts him on a collision course with the regime, leading to his own downfall in E104.
