Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tavius’s justification of Barbara’s enslavement in Episode 13 ('Tavius justifies Barbara’s enslavement') parallels Nero’s predatory entitlement toward Barbara in Episode 14 ('Nero’s predation and Barbara’s defiance'). Both men rationalize domination over Barbara’s autonomy through manipulations of kindness and power."
