Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Both episodes feature domestic scenes where Catherine's authority is undermined, either through Clare's questioning of her actions (E1) or the family's inability to cope with external trauma (E2). This escalates the theme of institutional distrust and personal fracture."
