Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Lamia's admiration for 'the work' on Romana's head, and Grendel's curiosity about her construction, directly leads to Grendel's horrifying order to 'disassemble' her for parts. This moment marks a critical escalation in Romana's peril."

About Causal Connections

A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
