How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"LeMaitre's confrontation with the Doctor in the prison ('A Change of Identity') directly reinforces the Doctor's later provocation of Robespierre in his office ('The Tyrant of France'). The tension with LeMaitre escalates the Doctor's defiance, culminating in his bold challenge to Robespierre's regime."
