Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Vicki's fear that 'he could keep me here forever' (referring to Koquillion) resonates in her distressed response to the Doctor's interrogation about the Zarbi breach ('I don't know!'). Both scenes involve Vicki being overwhelmed by authority figures (Koquillion, then the Doctor and the Zarbi), and her inability to control the narrative."
