Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's search for Runcible the Fatuous on the news (beat_e90cd9675d1c286e) sets up his later encounter with Runcible in the Panopticon (beat_6ed8d5effd3f05f6), a moment that underscores the theme of institutional vanity and irrelevance."

About Causal Connections

A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
