Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ian’s earlier reluctance to follow the Doctor’s recklessness ('Careful, Doctor') foreshadows his active resistance in Rome when Barbara voices concerns about noise, showing Ian’s consistent role as a grounding moral counterpoint to the Doctor’s impulsivity."
