The Drama world had faced many troubling times in the past, but never
anything like this. It was the first time in history that The Knights of the Pen kingdom
was seized by the most dangerous enemy, the Copy Beast. The soldiers and
villagers of Pen kingdom, who had once banded together to fight off the
scariest monsters, were no match for these invaders.
After the wordy warfare, Copy Beast, the conqueror of the Pen Kingdom, called
for their first congregation. He bragged his “original” stories to the kingdom, but
the civilians roared with laughter. They cackled at the embarrassing scene, for
they know that his stories were just copied and or just a mere duplication of
original stories. But the Copy Beast wouldn’t let his first moments as King become
a mockery.
“SILENCE OR YOU’LL ALL PERISH!” the Copy Beast yelled. There was no telling
how far he’d go to gain respect. He called his fearless soldiers and ordered them
to kill the apprentice writers if they will not follow his ways. But the Mighty Guide
named Diego would not let him rule over the Pen Kingdom.
Hello Learner, I am Diego your mighty guide in this venture. Can you help me
rescue the apprentice writers and save the Pen kingdom from this misfortune?
Great! You can help by joining the ranks of the Knights of the Pen. Together, we
will regain this kingdom!
To become a skilled Knight of the Pen or a Creative Writer, you must complete
all the forthcoming tasks by understanding intertextuality as a technique of
drama.
In this module you will learn the following:
1. Definition of Intertextuality;
2. Types of Intertextuality; and
3. Importance of Intertextuality as a technique of drama.
Hi Learner, since you are being trained to become a Creative Writer, I will sum
up your scores at the end of this module to find out if you are really ready to
join the Knights of the Pen Kingdom. How well will you perform?

How was your first training? Write your score in the box
If you are ‘bookworm’ and into writing, perhaps you have been using
intertextuality in one of your masterpieces. It is inevitable among authors and it
is a technique in writing. To give you a clearer concept about this topic, ask
yourself the following questions.
Direction. Put a check mark if you agree with the following statements.
I use quotations or sayings of some phenomenal writers or
philosopher.
I borrow movie lines to express my thoughts.
I have watched parody movies before .
I want to compare new adaptation of a movie to its classic
version.
I can generate more ideas after reading or watching .
If you have checked any of the indicators inside the boxes above, then you
have been really using intertextuality.

Voracious readers often make great writers, because being immersed in
www.shsph.blogspot.com
a world of words helps one better understand what he or she is reading.
The word ‘intertextuality’ was derived from the Latin word intertexto
meaning ‘to mingle while weaving’. It was first introduced in literary linguistics by
Bulgarian-born French semiotician and philosopher
Julia Kristeva in the
late 1960s. In her manifesto which includes such essays as "The Bounded Text"
and "Word, Dialogue, and Novel," Kristeva broke from traditional notions of the
author’s influences and the text’s sources. She argued that all signifying systems,
from table settings to poems, are constituted by the way they transform earlier
signifying systems. A literary work, then, is not simply the product of a single
author, but of his/her relationship to other texts (both written and spoken), and
to the structure of language itself.
There are different types of Intertextuality:
Appropriation
Allusion
Parody
Quotation
Adaptation
Appropriation is where a text is adapted from the original text. It's important to
note it isn't just copied instead reimagined in some way to make it new whether
it's for a different context or a different audience.
Allusion this is where you allude to something so it's referenced to another text
so not only can it be a reference to a text but it can also be a person a place
or an event. The audience or reader has to make the connection.
Parody is a funny interpretation of a text. It is mimicking or copying a text in order
to comment on it, a humorous interpretation of serious piece of literature, writing,
art or music. Its main purpose is to entertain the reader.
Quotation: A direct reference to another text with acknowledgement of its
composer
Adaptation: A film, TV Drama, or stage play that is based on a written work.
Intertextuality also involves the reader, the situation being refer to and its
context.
3
In traditional literary theory it is assumed that when we read a work of literature,
we are trying to find a meaning which lies inside that work. We extract the
meaning of the text. This process of extracting is called interpretation.
www.shsph.blogspot.com
Intertextuality in drama has been widely used since then. Here in the
Philippines, one of the most renowned is drama specifically theater. Some of the
types of theater in the country are the epic poetry Biag ni Lam-ang, Senakulo or
Passion Play and Balagtasan. These theater plays have never-ending
adaptations.
The Importance of Intertextuality
Intertextuality shows how much a culture can influence its authors, even
as the authors in turn influence the culture. It also shows how a similar cultural,
religious, political, or moral ideology can be expressed in very different ways
through different cultural practices.
You are now halfway there to finish your training. You have learned the
definition, types and importance of Intertextuality. Now, I think you are more
eager to pass this quest.

A Synopsis of Hamlet
By Scott Bartelson, Management Associate
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, is home
from school to mourn the death of his
father, King Hamlet, who has died two
months earlier. Hamlet is disgusted by
the marriage of his newly widowed
mother, Queen Gertrude, to his Uncle,
King Hamlet’s brother, Claudius, who
now has the throne.
Czachórski: Actors before Hamlet
Shortly thereafter, a ghost has appeared to guards on nightly watch as
well as Hamlet’s good friend, Horatio, who thinks the spirit has a likeness to the
former King Hamlet. When prompted to speak by Horatio, the ghost will not.
Horatio asks Hamlet to wait for the ghost and see if it will speak to him. The ghost
of his father beckons Hamlet to follow him and reveals that his brother Claudius
poisoned him in the ear. Hamlet vows to avenge his father’s murder.
Meanwhile, Laertes, son to the King’s advisor Polonius is set to return to
France. Before he leaves, he tells Ophelia, his sister, to be weary of Hamlet’s
affections towards her. Polonius gives Laertes advice on how to act abroad and
orders Ophelia to stay away from Hamlet.
Hamlet’s sanity begins to be questioned by all. Claudius and Gertrude are both
concerned; Polonius suggests it is Ophelia’s rejection of his advances. Claudius
and Polonius decide to spy on Hamlet and Ophelia. Claudius further employs
6
www.shsph.blogspot.com
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two childhood friends
of Hamlet, to spy on him further. Hamlet quickly
realizes their intentions.
A troupe of players happens to be in town and
Hamlet utilizes the actors to determine the validity of
his father’s murder. He will have them perform the
very act of murder, killing a king through poison in the
ear, which the ghost has claimed. He asks Horatio to
watch Claudius’ reaction throughout the play. While
the court is watching, Claudius is enraged and leaves
the play convincing Hamlet that he is the murderer.
Hamlet comes upon Claudius in the chapel, kneeling
down to pray. He considers killing him then and there,
but since Claudius is in mid-prayer, and will therefore
go to heaven if he dies,
Second Quarto cover page of Hamlet
Hamlet decides to wait until Claudius is committing some sin, so that he will
go to hell like Hamlet’s father before him.
Hamlet meets Gertrude in her room and an argument ensues. When he
hears Polonius who is hiding behind the curtain shout for help, he stabs him
thinking it is Claudius. The ghost appears to Hamlet to refocus him on the task of
killing Claudius.
Fortinbras, Prince of Norway, whose father’s lands were seized by the late
King, decides to head to Denmark. Claudius demands that Hamlet, Rosencrantz
and Guildenstern head for England. Claudius has sent a letter with them
ordering Hamlet’s execution during the trip. While at sea, however, Hamlet
discovers his planned murder and switches the orders, causing Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern to be executed. Hamlet returns to Denmark.
Meanwhile back at Elsinore, Ophelia has gone mad with grief. Laertes
returns from France and learns it was Hamlet who has killed his father, Polonius.
Claudius suggests that Laertes duel with Hamlet and poisons the tip of Laertes
foil for a fatal blow. If Laertes loses the duel, Claudius will put poison into a drink
for Hamlet. Gertrude enters and announces that Ophelia has drowned.
In the graveyard, Hamlet reminisces on a friend of his whose skull he has
found. When the processional arrives with Ophelia’s corpse, Laertes and Hamlet
argue. A duel is scheduled.
During the fight, Gertrude accidentally drinks from the poisoned chalice
and dies. Hamlet is wounded with the poisoned sword, but in a scuffle, the foils
are switched and Laertes is also wounded with the poisoned foil. In dying,
Laertes confesses Claudius’ plot to kill Hamlet. Hamlet stabs Claudius and

Hamlet dies asking Horatio to tell his story. The Norwegian forces arrive at Elsinore,
and Prince Fortinbras seizes control of Denmark.
