Causal strong strength

Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Thawn's decision to kill the creature after Harg's death (beat_edd1fe833e75c446) directly leads to his later instruction to Fenner to use 35 depth charges in a cluster to kill Kroll (beat_4f6e7399cd666abf). The beast's initial attack necessitates a technological solution, which Thawn pursues with increasing desperation."

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.
