Within the human psyche‚ there is a constant need to relate. We relate our own personal stories to that of others‚ we relate stories we have read to our own personal stories‚ and we relate stories that we have read to other stories. This intrinsic desire to relate and belong can also be translated to a literary degree. The constant relation of texts to others‚ more commonly known as intertextuality‚ is both within a text and within the mind of those reading and writing it. Rosemary Dobson‚ an Australian
