Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"In Episode 2, Dr. Cranmer tells Cromwell that Wolsey is at Southwell and crowds have come to see him—news that Anne's faction views as dangerous. In Episode 3, Cromwell makes Cranmer Archbishop of Canterbury explicitly to further Anne's marriage and pass anti-papal laws. Cranmer's loyalty, established in E2 as coming from the reformist camp, is rewarded in E3."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Cromwell's investment in Cranmer begins with their shared knowledge of Wolsey's movements in E2 and culminates in Cranmer's elevation in E3. Cranmer is the tool Cromwell uses to complete the break from Rome.
