Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Glitz’s attempt to exclude Mel and Ace in Episode 12 (based on chauvinism and self-preservation) parallels the group’s exclusionary and hierarchical tendencies in Episode 13 (Kane’s ruthless control, Glitz’s opportunism). Thematic parallels show how exclusion and power imbalances drive conflict."
