How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Dodo's paranoia and distrust of 'creations' (like Sergeant Rugg and Mrs. Wiggs) evolves into her encounter with the 'savage,' where her initial compassion is quickly met with aggression and hidden cruelty. Her psychological unraveling continues as she struggles to reconcile her instincts with the harsh realities of independent wills."
