1.) The characters in both "The Birthmark" and "Bartelby, the Scrivener" are motivated. In "The Birthmark", Aylmer is motivated to remove the birthmark that was placed on his wofe Georgiana's left cheek. In "Bartelby, the Scrivener" the lawyer is motivated to get rid of Bartelby because he was no longer participating in his work.
The plots of the two short stories are different because in "Bartelby, the Scrievner" the narrator tells the background of the majority of the characters, which is using exposion, in " The Birthmark" there was some what of suspense because after Georgiana had drank the mixture that her husband had made to get rid of her birthmark as the reader we were not sure what was going to happen since she was unconsious for so long but in the end i was not expecting the birthmark to be her soul.
2.) By comparing the two stories we as readers learnmore about the characters and what they are motivated to do and what their goals are at that particular time.
