Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Wolsey's desperate groveling in the mud of Putney in Episode 1—kissing Henry's ring, weeping, surrendering Patch—is directly continued in Episode 2 by his final act of defiance at Cawood Castle, where he refuses to surrender without seeing the warrant. The broken man has found a last shred of dignity."
