Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Hilda Winters' order for the robot to destroy Sarah (who resists due to her prime directive) directly leads to the robot's later instability and its seeking refuge with its creator, Professor Kettlewell. This causes Kettlewell to contact the Doctor in distress."

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.
