Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Wolsey's advice to Cromwell about bribing people and using land as leverage parallels Sir Henry Wyatt's advice about using the Jewel House to gain financial overview. Both scenes show older, experienced men teaching Cromwell the mechanics of power—Wolsey in defeat, Wyatt in strategic ascent."
