Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor and Romana's eerie discovery of a rhythmic thumping in the ship's depths directly leads to their horrified realization that the liquid in the 'fuel tanks' is the blood of the drained, confirming the Great One's vampiric nature and the rulers' complicity."

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.
