How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's horrifying vision of assassinating the Lord President (beat_cd5569749cbda7c5) directly motivates his frantic efforts to prevent the assassination, culminating in his desperate reaction upon seeing the rifle in the Panopticon (beat_9ff149fba462366c). The vision is the inciting incident that sets the entire plot in motion."

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.
