Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Grendel's coercion of Romana with threats against Strella's life in Episode 16 callbacks to Rohm-Dutt's use of Romana as a sacrificial offering to Kroll in Episode 17. Both antagonists exploit Romana's concern for others to break her spirit, tying their manipulative strategies together."
