Matt and Vincent, 2 people from different worlds who are the same in many ways and different in many ways. One example would be how they were both treated like a lower class of humans, and the reason that they were is completely opposite. Vincent is considered lower class because he isn't genetically modified to be perfect like most other people on earth, while Matt is considered lower class because he is a clone, and so forth considered livestock. Although the way both of them solved these problems is completely opposite to what we are taught today. Both of them ran away from their problems, making new identities for themselves. Matt becoming El Patron, and Vincent pretending to be a genetically modified person. I doubt the writers were thinking about this when the made the book/movie, but then again it could easily be views the other way around by saying something like they both had problems that they tried to fix. Though this could be argued in Matt's case because he relied on other people to get him away from El Patron, Celia gave him poison so his heart wouldn't work with El Patron, Tam Lin snuck him out of Opium, Ton Ton got him away from the keepers, and Maria's Mom saved him threw legal actions.
So ultimately there are many ways that Vincent and Matt are alike, but I think Vincent had to live a much harder life then Matt, because Vincent had to come up with plans to stay away from cops, had to become a entirely different person, and had to leave behind everyone he cared about to complete his dream. While Matt had a great life other then being really bad socially, but at the end of the book even that is fine. Sure he may have had a horrible time when Rosa was taking care of him, but the way he was treated afterwards made up for that.
