Our study investigates how modern literature was influenced by the traditional literary works. The main objective of this dissertation is to examine and explore the two modern works, in relation to Shakespeare, while shedding light on Bakhtin’s concepts overt and hidden polemic, parody and pastiche, as well as stylization. Our study analysis the two books in view of their source text and by using the above mentioned theories, we have determined that both works are intertexts of Shakespeare’s original.
