Both of the stories started in the middle of the story to make it more dramatic and seem more intense then the story actually was. This helps the plot of each story. The plot in "The Birthmark" was to get the birthmark off of the women. In doing so Alymar killed his wife. This plot had a surprising ending and the characters were very different all throughout the story. The dynamic character is Georgina because she went through a change in the story - Dieing. Alymar was a static character because he had one thing on his mind and one goal - to get the mole off of his wife's face. In "Bartleby, the Scrivener" the plot is mainly about how the characters are useful to one another. If they were not useful in the plot then they were not talked about. All the characters where static characters besides the lawyer. He had to constantly change what he was doing to make up for what the others were doing.
I think that when comparing the two stories we learn that no one is perfect and in trying to change them into perfect we destroy who they are and what they should be and possibly even kill them off completely.
