Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events feature authoritarian figures misusing power to control vulnerable individuals. In Episode 7, the Daleks manipulate Susan's departure to pressure the Thals; in Episode 41, LeMaitre defies Robespierre to retain control over Susan's imprisonment. Thematic parallels: power vs. vulnerability, manipulation of trust, and the use of individuals as leverage."
