Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The noblemen's observation of Henry's lack of concern for Anne's well-being after Elizabeth's birth creates a sense of unease and vulnerability around the Queen. This directly justifies the Queen's paranoia and leads Cromwell to confirm her fears that many enemies want her to fail."
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.
