Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Black Guardian's tempting offer creates the moral crucible in which Turlough must choose. His act of flinging the diamond at the Guardian is a direct, symbolic rejection of greed and a choice for self-sacrifice, framed by the Guardian's prior offer."

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.
