Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Anne Boleyn’s dismissive reference to the ‘sinners at Wolf Hall’ in Episode 3 foreshadows the Seymours’ rising influence as they successfully host King Henry VIII at Wolf Hall in Episode 4. John More, as patriarch, is central to both the insult and the hosting."
