Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Inferno, Ian's rejection of caution in favor of bold, impulsive action ('hiding in plain sight') reflects his proactive approach to danger. In The Web Planet, Ian's paranoia about being watched (e.g., his vanishing pen) mirrors this instinctive distrust of his surroundings."
