They vary in their narrative perspective, style of foreshadowing, tone, and characters. These are all important elements of literature used to enhance the plot.

In the short story “The Glass Roses” written by Alden Nowlan it shows the struggles of a fifteen year old boy who is trying to live up to his father’s expectations to make him proud. Stephen’s partner, Leka, teaches him that it is important to be your own individual and not let anyone shape who you want to be by sculpting you own ideals and values.

In contrast, Anton Chigurh represents those in society whose moral codes are influenced solely by their personal beliefs, actions, and experiences, not by commonly accepted standards such as law or religion. Where Ed Tom bases his moral code off of said socially accepted standards, and adjusts his beliefs slightly based on experience, Chigurh’s moral code has no resemblance to what is generally accepted in society. When Carson Wells describes Chigurh to Moss he explains, “He’s a peculiar man. You could even say that he has principles. Principles that transcend money or drugs or anything like that. He’s not like you. He’s not even like me” (Coen Brothers No Country). Chigurh’s peculiar moral code excuses criminal offenses such as murder,

Throughout the centuries, a commonality of time enduring plays is that they often include themes that are consistently relevant to audiences as time goes on. Henrik Ibsen 's A Doll 's House and Susan Glaspell 's Trifle are two plays that were written in 1879 and 1916, and both are still well read and enjoyed plays because of this reason.

By analyzing these characters during their struggle against conformity to social norms, we can discover how this theme makes these two works relevant to present-day readers.
