Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Wolsey's death is reinforced during the crudely staged performance for the court, in which Cromwell now discovers that Patch, once Wolsey's employee, is acting as the Cardinal. That humiliation sets up Cromwell to confront Patch."

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.
