Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's intellectual humiliation of Sholakh using the core rod (cand_evt_scene_1cfb56c95f07b651_02) parallels Graff's later execution of a Shrieve to assert his authority (cand_evt_scene_70c577a1c02c100f_1). Both scenes highlight the abuse of knowledge/power in oppressive systems."
