In the story Two Violins, one difference between Moshe and the woman that affects the plot is their exhibited emotions towards their respective violins. Moshe treats his violin with great care and respect, while the woman is more casual and neglectful towards her own instrument. This difference sets up the conflict of the story, as Moshe's violin is stolen while the woman's remains untouched, leading to Moshe's determination to find his violin and seek justice.

In the story "Two Violins," a difference between Moshe and the woman is their financial situation. Moshe is poor and struggles to make ends meet, while the woman is wealthy and can afford to purchase the violin from Moshe. This difference drives the plot as Moshe's desperate need for money leads him to sell the violin, and the woman's wealth allows her to acquire it.
