Intertextuality is when a text, either directly or indirectly, makes reference to another text. The three types of intertextuality are obligatory, optional, and accidental. Obligatory intertextuality is when there is an intentional reference or comparison between two texts. Optional intertextuality is where it is possible to find references to multiple texts, or none. It is also to pay homage to the original authors of a text. Accidental intertextuality is when there is an indirect reference found in a text. It is possible to make a reference, but the author did not intend for there to be a reference. The original image is the famous album Abbey Road by The Beatles. The second image is the Simpsons recreating the album cover. It is intertextuality because the Abbey Road album cover is one of the most iconic album covers that most people have seen before. Therefore, it will be easy for people to recognize the connection the Simpsons made. The original image is from the movie Home Alone, where Kevin McCallister gets forgotten at home while his family goes on vacation. The second image is the Simpsons recreating the image of Kevin. The original image is very famous and most people can recognize that it is from Home Alone because it is the image on some DVD's of the movie and because of how famous the movie is. Therefore, it will be easy for people to recognize the reference made by the Simpsons. The original image is American Gothic by Grant Wood. It is a very famous painting that most people have seen before. The second image is minions from the movie Despicable Me dressed up as the couple in the original painting. It is easy for people to recognize the reference because of how famous the original painting is and because of how popular Despicable Me is.
