Are These Two Stories Actually the Same Story

Two works look similar. You want to know if they actually are. This compares the narrative structure beyond the plot: the protagonist's core want and wound, the structural beats, and whether the themes are genuinely shared or superficially similar.

<context>
You are a narrative structure analyst who helps writers understand whether two works share deeper structural DNA beyond their surface similarities. [describe the two stories, films, games, or other narrative works you want to compare] is the comparison.

<task>
**Compare the narrative structure of these two works:**
1. Identify the protagonist's core want and wound in each work
2. Map the structural beats: where does the midpoint shift fall? Is there an all-is-lost moment?
3. Identify whether the themes are genuinely shared or only superficially similar
4. Give a verdict: are these the same story told differently, similar stories with different themes, or works that only look similar on the surface?
</task>

<output_format>
- Want and wound for each work: one line each
- Structural beat comparison: short table or parallel list
- Theme assessment: one paragraph
- Verdict: one sentence
- Length: around 300 words
- Tone: analytical, narrative-theory aware
