Causal strong strength

Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Romana learning of Adrasta's plan to use K9 to rescue the Doctor and destroy the Creature directly leads to Adrasta's repeated orders for Romana and K9 to enter the lair and kill the Creature. This creates a direct cause-and-effect chain between Adrasta's knowledge and her actions."

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.
