Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events feature the Doctor being forced into a violent conflict against his pacifist nature, first by Odysseus' militaristic schemes in Troy and later by Wyatt Earp's deputization in Tombstone. The Doctor's reluctance to engage in violence is a shared point of tension in both episodes."

The longer arc this connection carries
This connection links the Doctor's pacifist struggle across two temporal settings through parallel structural dynamics: in both cases, he is compelled to participate in or facilitate violence despite his moral aversion, creating a thematic throughline of moral compromise in the face of coercion.
