Bechdel mentions or alludes to in Fun Home in some significant way

Before responding to this topic, make sure you have worked through the study questions on the novel, including the one on intertextuality. Then choose one text that Bechdel mentions or alludes to in Fun Home in some significant way. Research that “intertext.” Use your research to help explain Bechdel’s strategy in alluding to or quoting from the outside text. What does it add to our understanding of her narrative that she invites us to contemplate both texts in tandem? How might it make us look at the intertext differently as well? Build on (rather than repeat) what others have already said. (There should be no more than 2 responses on the Daedalus and Icarus myth; try to explore some of the other intertexts that are new to you or one not mentioned in the Study Questions.)
