Intertextuality

So I know I talk quite a bit about about intertextuality, and I read Jane Eyre a long time ago, but I had to point this out because I think it's brilliant. I've been semi-following The Autobiography of Jane Eyre on youtube. Premise is that Jane Eyre is a nursing student turned live-in tutor filming her own set of video blogs. Every so often, she'll reference some aspect of pop culture. In this Q&A video, she's asked which Game of Thrones character she's most like. Her answer: Arya when she was little but now that she's older, more Jon Snow.


So little, book-throwing Jane Eyre is Arya Stark and the older, introspective Jane Eyre is Jon Snow? That is some fantastic intertextuality right there :)
