Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Lasky, Doland, and others hustling the Doctor and Mel out while administering gas to Ruth (source) directly leads to the Doctor being arrested by Guard Rudge for a false alarm (target), as his interference is seen as a disruption."

About Causal Connections
