This week, we focused on intertextuality and allusions in Fun Home and the purpose they have in forming the plot, building character tensions and adding imagery to explain moments. These are some of the notes I took in class that define what intertextuality is and what an allusion is, as well as zooming into certain pages of the novel that have particularly interesting intertextual examples.
After we completed this exercise, we filled in another document on some intertextual examples in the book that we could focus on and analyse deeper.
