Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"In Episode 101, Wolsey dismissively says of Anne Boleyn: 'The poor chit of a girl. The king will have her in his bed by summer. By autumn he'll be tired of her and pension her off.' In Episode 102, Anne has become a terrifying figure of power, parading the beheaded drawing of herself and vowing, 'I mean to have him.'"

This connection highlights the dramatic reversal of power between Wolsey's underestimation of Anne and her actual ascendancy. Mary Boleyn, who was present during Wolsey's dismissal, now lives in the shadow of that miscalculation, her own fate intertwined with Anne's rise.
