Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"In Episode 9, the Doctor impersonates Karkus to enter the Citadel, exploiting the Citadel's narrative rules. In Episode 10, the Master exploits narrative rules by reducing companions to scripted characters. Both episodes reflect a theme where power derives from control over narrative identity."
