Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Grendel's initial act of consigning Romana to Lamia in Episode 13 parallels his later use of Romana as a political pawn in Episode 14 (shackling her to Reynart). Both events position Romana as a tool of Grendel's manipulation, emphasizing her lack of agency."
