Similarities:

Both Intertextuality and Hypertextuality involve the referencing and interweaving of multiple texts or sources to
create new meaning.

Both concepts recognize the importance of context and the way that meaning is shaped by the cultural, historical,
and literary traditions that surround a particular text.

Both Intertextuality and Hypertextuality can be used to enrich and deepen the meaning of a text, drawing on a
wide range of intertextual references to create a more complex and nuanced work.

Differences:

Intertextuality specifically refers to the referencing and interweaving of multiple texts or sources within a single
work, while Hypertextuality refers to the use of digital links and connections to create a web-like structure of
multiple texts or sources.

Intertextuality can be seen as a broader concept that encompasses Hypertextuality, as it includes all types of
intertextual referencing and allusions, whether or not they are connected through digital links.

While Intertextuality can involve a wide range of textual and cultural references, Hypertextuality specifically
involves the use of digital technologies to connect texts and create new forms of meaning.

Hypertextuality tends to be associated more with digital media and technology, while Intertextuality has been a
part of literary and cultural studies for decades, if not centuries.

1. In her novel "Wide Sargasso Sea," Jean Rhys intertextually weaves together events from Charlotte Bronte's
"Jane Eyre" to present an alternative perspective. Rhys focuses on the wife of Mr. Rochester, a secondary
character in Bronte's novel, and sets the story in Jamaica, a departure from the original's English setting.
By delving into the backstory of her central character, Rhys explores themes such as the role of women,
colonization, and racism, which Bronte did not explicitly address in her work. Through her interpretation
of the narrative, Rhys provides a fresh and thought-provoking take on the events of "Jane Eyre."
2.   The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe  (By C. S. Lewis)

In this case, C. S. Lewis adapts the idea of Christ’s crucifixion in his fantasy novel,  The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe. He, very shrewdly, weaves together the religious and entertainment themes for a children’s book.
Lewis uses an important event from The New Testament, transforming it into a story about redemption. In doing
so, he uses Edmund, a character that betrays his savior, Aslan. Generally, the motive of this theme is to introduce
other themes, such as evil actions, losing innocence, and redemption.
