The present study explores the ideas of intertextuality in Spencer Johnson?s Who Moved My Cheese and Samuel Beckett?s Waiting for Godot. Intertextuality relates to texts that have incidents and ideas related to another text. The features of intertextuality are quotations, scenes, characters, narration, etc. The present study considers only one theorist, Julia Kristeva, and investigates the intertextual elements in the select texts. The results of the study are evaluated with other studies regarding intertextuality.
