Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's retrieval of the Hand of Omega from the funeral parlour (culminating in opening the casket in the funeral parlour scene) directly leads to the need for secure burial in the cemetery, where he performs the pallbearing ritual."

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.
