Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jane Rochford's declaration 'I won't bear the blame. You will, Master Secretary' passes moral responsibility for Anne's destruction to Cromwell, and in Episode 201, Cromwell accepts that burden by justifying the execution with cold pragmatism."
