“It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.”― Patrick Rothfuss.

The people who understand this the most, are the people who use them to weave stories for their audience.

Intertextuality-where one text makes explicit or implicit reference to other texts or textual systems—does not necessarily entail a rewriting project. While all counter-discourse is intertextual, not all intertextuality is counter-discursive. By definition, counterdiscourse actively works to destabilise the power structures of the originary text rather than simply

story. It “assimilates a variety of discourses” that “always to some extent question and relativize each other’s authority” (Waugh 6). Literary journalists, thus, are actively engaged in interpreting and scrutinizing the discursive practices of intertextuality in order to generate their distinctive but hybrid discourse. This hybrid discourse can be conceptualized using Edward Said’s notion of the “contrapuntal”. As the adjective “contrapuntal” implies, the literary journalist discourse exhibits a counterpoint

characters and even references from other piece of literature dot its pages. However, it is suggested that this intertextuality plays a larger part in the novel.

appeared like a dues ex machina and left with Kilroy. After reading the play, I was left questioning what I had read. Similar to Waiting for Godot, I was left with more questions than answers after reading the play. Something that I noticed is that intertextuality is heavily present in the play. For example, the play includes characters from other well-known works of literature such as Esmeralda from Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Marguerite from Alexandre Dumas’s Camille, and Gutman from Dashiell

Talking about intertextuality it is very difficult if you don’t know the origins of the stories related to that one. Romeo and Juliet, from Shakespeare, is one example of story that remains in other works.
