Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Polly's impassioned refusal of the Cybermen's offer ('You've got no feelings') echoes her horror at the fish-person transformation ('You're not turning me into a fish!'). Both moments highlight her core defense of human emotion and identity against ineluctable dehumanization."
