However, Meryem describes Modernist literature patterns as completely different and is far from the use of “Intertextuality”. Meryem claims that, “Modernists look at works as example of genre and judge them by their codes” (Ayan, 137). Modernists chose different path then realist, therefore, instead of using intertextuality modernists believe that each work of art and literature is unique to itself and thus should not be combined with older work since it has its own genre. Prime example to support Ayan’s argument is book “The Wasteland” by T.S. Eliot since the book focuses on all the techniques of modernism: rebelling against traditional literature and values. Key structural elements found in “The Wasteland” such as non-uniformity and discontinuity in paragraphs, single genre pattern throughout the text. On the other hand, in Postmodern literature authors present “Intertextuality” and “fragmentation”: dispersing themes, imagery, plot and characters through out the novel. Both “Intertextuality” and “Fragmentation” are completely different from the patterns found in Modernist literature which focusses on “Pessimism” and examining literature from mundane perspective. Ultimately through dissecting the writing styles in books created in modernist era and postmodern era scholars would be able to comprehend the differences between both art movements more
