E14. Sacrifice, Obedience, And Testing - Subsections. A recurring motif in the later actions is obedience under strain.
Summary
A recurring motif in the later actions is obedience under strain. Dee and Kelley are asked to accept difficult, humiliating, or morally confusing instructions. These tests reveal the danger in Dee's criterion of obedience: if the source is trusted as divine, resistance becomes impiety, but compliance may violate conscience or social order.
