How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's discovery of the body in the cupboard (beat_e9dcf86bc0277553) directly triggers the subsequent arrest and accusation of murder (beat_cf51e49d35e8df60), as his presence at the crime scene and the harlequin costume make him the prime suspect."

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.
