Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Kassia's direct address to Melkur in the Grove, showing obedience or subservience, directly leads to Melkur's manipulative act of giving her a glowing allegiance band and instructing her to be his 'eyes and ears.' This makes explicit the nature of her corruption."

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.
