Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Henry refuses to show kindness to the dying Katherine, expressing resentment and paranoia. In Episode 6, this same resentment escalates into active persecution as Henry orders a secret inquiry into Anne Boleyn's alleged infidelity, demanding 'confessions over truth.'"
