Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Barbara’s learning about Robomen in Episode 5 (their transformation into mindless slaves) parallels Baker’s fate in Episode 6—both symbolize dehumanization under the Daleks. Baker’s robotic obedience in death (execution sequence) mirrors the horror of becoming a Roboman."
