The characters in Bartleby, the Scrivener and The Birthmark are different in many ways and similar in many was as well. In Bartleby all the characters all contribute to the story in a certain way. Both story have round and foiled characters. This is important because foil and round characters because, they bring out the other characteristics of other characters. Yet, round characters are more complex which is more of what The Birthmark's characters are since they both wanted to be perfect for each other and they don't really ever change.
Between these two stories I think there is a lot in common in both of them. I think this because Bartleby is about giving and trying to make others happy too. Then in The Birthmark they are trying to make each other happy by being "perfect" but maybe there is more to a relationship than trying to make the other think you're perfect. They should just love each other for who they are. You can't love someone if you can't love yourself. And I think that was a big message in The Birthmark.
