Character

For the sake of consistency lets take the male protagonist of both Hamlet and Pride and Prejudice, Hamlet and Mr. Darcy. Both are generally different in mind body and motive, but the do share one common aspect of indecisiveness. Hamlet incapable of making a clear decision on whether to kill king Claudius till the 5th act at the very end of the play. Mr. Darcy takes an entire novel to realize his own hubris, and finally see that Elizabeth who he truly loves. They both share completely different backgrounds and time periods, but both characters appear to link a common factor seen in their stories. It is the indecisiveness in character that also allows for them to be explored in more depth. With each failure of action allows the character to self reflect and question themselves further. The reader gathers more insight into their struggle, and with the advent of their resolutions, the reader feels the same as the character emotionally. Thus, Darcy and Hamlet, could be considered the same person thrown into two different situations.
