Allusions Are everywhere! Knowing the big three is key: Bible, Greeks, Shakespeare. Why? It creates a community with the reader and adds layers of meaning Intertextuality builds on, alters, or challenges universal themes, ideas, and archetypes. Christ figures: characters who do stuff like Jesus -- humble beginnings, walking on water, healing, teaching and most importantly: self-sacrifice.
