Define intertextuality. Discuss three examples that have helped you in reading specific works.

SOVA2 [1]

Intertextuality is the influence that a literary text has upon other literary texts. Nearly every literary work relies on what was written before, and draws parallels, whether in structural or some other sense (such as topics, characters, messages, etc.). Generally, it means that all the literature is a giant web of references, influences, shared themes and values, and that nobody can learn to be original without having dealt with thousands of other authors' works.

For example, Vergil's Aeneid was heavily influenced by Homer's Iliad. In a way, it is a sequel of some of the occurrences from the Iliad - although it is artistically independent and has an immense value in its own right. We even meet some of the Iliad's heroes there - such as Achilles, who is now in the Underworld, long dead and regretting that he didn't live longer. We cannot get the whole picture about Achilles from Aeneid (nor understand the context of his suffering) if we didn't read the Iliad first and see him there, in his full glory.

The second example would be Dante's Inferno. Although it was written in the 14th century, it deals and debates with nearly every literary work from antiquity. There are many heroes from Iliad and Odyssey (including Odysseus himself) - and there is Virgil, the Aeneid's poet, who is Dante's tutor and protector on his way through the underworld. Dante refers to Aeneas as a man who has been to the underworld.

The third example would be Joyce's 20th-century novel Ulysses. It is a giant monument to intertextuality, as it depicts a one-day journey of Leopold Bloom, which corresponds to Odysseus' wandering on his way home to Ithaca. Just like Odysseus has his Penelope, Leopold has his Molly Bloom. The novel is structured in episodes which all resemble corresponding occurrences in Odyssey. Of course, one can read Ulysses without being familiar with the Odyssey; but a great layer of meaning and significance would be lost.

Poetry Writing:<br> 'Rise when you fall'

Novay_Z [31]

Rise and Fall

Firm as a rock and more cruel than a Barbarian was this fellow

He was a horrid and tenebrous master

The crown prince of Raptor the undefeated kingdom

He made many plans and all were costly

Soon he became as poor as a beggar

So a wedding became his solution out of debt

The prince wed the wonderful Etta from the kingdom of Tep and soon became king after he murdered his father in such brutal matter, he was a barbaric being and such thing was a fact

After a while he had a daughter, and a creature with a green complexion and human features asked for his daughter that he may be wed to her when she was all grown

However the Prince who was now King did not delight in such a matter and threw the creature out of his castle and cast him out of his kingdom

The creature swore to have the girl as a bride and to leave the King in ruin

In the meantime the king drank and enjoyed himself like a hummingbird

He pleased himself in torturing men and women alike and pleased himself in having multiple women, he was like an animal

However, soon came the day when the baby girl was now 18 years of age

She would dream of monsters and all sorts of creatures and she was drawn to them, she was a woman of visions

She would frequently dream of a green fellow who had human characteristics yet his face was abnormal yet she drew a liken to him

In a day like any other she went outside the castle and heard a beautiful flute playing so she followed the tune, it drove her out of the kingdom only to find the creature she dreamed of so much

When both saw each other they embraced and tears flowed from both cheeks

He asked from her, her hand in marriage and she accepted and afterwards they eloped

Now having taken the princess away and forming the scandal that it was with a horrendous creature the King would no longer receive benefit from Ettas parents

They no longer gave him silver coins to use it on the things he most desired, he was in ruin once more so due to desesperarían he took a dagger and plunged it into his heart
