Chapter 5 --Now, Where Have I Seen Her Before? Intertextuality is the relationship between texts, especially literary ones.
Intertextuality is very popular in our culture today, especially in television. A lot disney's fairy tale movies are similar when it comes to their plot lines. In both princess movies Snow White and Sleeping Beauty are very similar. In the movies both of the princesses encounter an evil witch, in which they end up getting put to sleep.
