The document compares the similarities and differences between characters in two media products. Specifically, it discusses how the mother characters in both works are similar in that they are distressed when trying to protect their sons, though one fails and the other's son dies. However, it notes that a key difference is that one mother expresses her distress after her son's death, while the other does so as a threat is attacking both of them.
