Intertextuality

The Emblem of the Knights The emblem of the Knights of the Round Table worn round the necks of all the Knights was given to them by King Arthur as part of the ceremony of their being made a knight. The Order's dominant idea was the love of God, men, and noble deeds. The cross in the emblem was to remind them that they were to live pure and stainless lives, to strive after perfection and thus attaining the Holy Grail. The Red Dragon of King Arthur represented their allegiance to the King. The…

inquiry and discourses sections of the book deal with the tools of inquiry that are relevant in building identities and activities and also for recognizing identities and activities that others build.

In three literary works above talking about the same topic, that is DEATH. The word death in Because I Could Not For Death interprets as positive thing which refers to respect and reverence. It indicates from the word kindly and civility in poem. Dickinson in her poem in the first line of the first stanza states that she could not stop for the death. It means that she has no choice when she will die. Everyone will die but in different times and different ways. Death is not described as…

Design In regards to intertextuality, Teddy from my picturebook is the Humpty Dumpty used in the television show Playschool. This served two purposes: Humpty is known to be an incredibly unlucky character, creating doubt in the readers mind even at the beginning of the story that Teddy is the lucky one; and it also creates a connection to Australian children (and even adults) that watch Playschool. Salience and colour were used hand-in-hand in my picturebook through the colour red: it is one of…

The Blob The cult classic 1958 film “The Blob” starring a young Steve McQueen, is not only interesting to watch, it also gives the viewer a number of insights into that era. The milieu in Post World War II America is the dominant sign in the film. The era is the signified and there are a number of signifiers. The film begins with the theme song “Beware of the Blob, it creeps and leaps…” and the viewer is made aware of the fascination for monsters that Americans had during that period. Spook…

Seasons are one of the most commonly used symbols/elements in literature and overall, unless irony is involved, have always come to mean the same thing. Overall the passing of seasons can represent changes in someone’s life or even the passing of time. For example in some cases spring would stand for youth and happiness, summer would tackle early adulthood and in a sense would be romantic, autumn usually has to do with late adulthood and symbolizes nearing the end, and lastly winter would…

X-Men: Apocalypse is the ninth installment in the X-Men series. The movie surrounds the villain Apocalypse, who has just been woken up for the first time in hundreds of years. Upon waking up, he is disappointed to find out that humans are worshiping machinery and buildings rather than mutants. X-Men: Apocalypse can be examined as a complete intertextual reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ. Not only is it an intertextual echo for the Four…

to metafictional works from both Du Maurier and Atwood, Maus acts as a biographical piece in which the author is both Art and Vladek (the father) telling the story. With Art using animals for representing the US, Germans and Jews, this form of intertextuality allowed Spiegalman to paraphrase his father’s story (Pfister 1991:208). Such as the inclusion of an orchestra playing whilst being debated by his father that there wasn’t an orchestra playing in the camp…

The inconsistencies of the field of intertextuality and their implications for definitions in modern scholarship could take up an entire research paper alone. However, since the primary purpose of this study is to make observations about the methodology that Euthalius used in his longer quotation list for the Pauline letters, a brief section on this study’s methodology is most necessary. Keeping the previous background information in mind, several scholars have attempted to set forth methods for…
