Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Meglos’s shedding of his 'Earthling' skin (true serpentine form) to escape serves as a physical manifestation of his trickster nature and insubstantial identity. Paradoxically, his attempt to re-enter the cactus form in the alcove (Act 3) leads to destruction — the uncontrollable nature of his own devices causes his demise."

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.
