Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tavius' attempt to rationalize Barbara's sale as a moral act in Episode 13 (cand_evt_scene_a702b516b829c4d3_01) parallels Poppaea's calculated elimination of a rival through poisoning in Episode 14 (cand_evt_scene_cb828d63a9ab0c0a_01). Both events reflect the commodification of human lives within the imperial hierarchy."

The longer arc this connection carries
