"How the characters in each story change and why."

Explanation: Theme is usually revealed through characters' actions, decisions, growth, or failures — comparing how each story's characters change (or don't) and why will most directly show the authors' central messages. Setting, title, and cultural background can help support or illuminate theme, but character development is the clearest primary evidence.
