"Bartleby, the Scrivener" and "The Birthmark"

Both stories are relatively the same, Bartleby has a theme of depression where as the Birthmark is in Chronological order.  If they would've used different plot structures then it would be hard to get anything out of the story.  Both stories have motivated characters that contribute to the story and were very consistent within the story.  There were many types of characters such as protanganist, static characters, foil characters, and round characters.

That the theme is different but they are all for the same meaning.  It was a meaning that it doesn't matter what color they are, or what they have on their skin, they are still people and deserve to be treated like people.  Both stories had the same type of characters which lead to the real meaning of the story.
