Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cromwell's statement that 'it's just people' who destroy great men foreshadows Wolsey's death, where the 'people' who destroyed him are absent, and only Cavendish—the one who lamented this tendency—remains."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This foreshadowing connects Cromwell's cynical worldview to Wolsey's fate, but through Cavendish's perspective. Cavendish's earlier lament about the English tendency to destroy great men is proven true, but the irony is that he himself is the exception—he stayed loyal. This shapes Cavendish's character as the moral counterpoint to Cromwell's pragmatism.
