I am all for putting new wine in old bottles, especially if the pressure of the new wine makes the bottles explode."-Angela Carter I aim to focus on Angela Carter's use of intertextuality in The Bloody Chamber in which she restructures the fairy tales into cultural dimensions. The Bloody Chamber consists of ten rewritten stories that rely on classical Western fairy tales. Carter tends to deconstruct the patriarchal ideologies embedded into the traditions of these fairy tales. As a way of restructuring Western thinking, intertextuality is used as a tool in The Bloody Chamber to call attention to the false universalizing of gender roles. In order to generate intertext, Carter employs parody by which she makes use of the plots of the fairy tales '' Little Red Riding Hood", ''Bluebeard", '' Beauty and the Beast" and ''Snow White" to rewrite them in a way of shattering conventional stereotypes. Simon Dentith defines parody as a form of intertextual allusion which '' includes any cultural practice which provides a relatively polemical allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice." (9). Intertextuality can be considered as an application of reproducing texts which rely on the words and concepts of other texts. Dynamic interaction between a text and other texts through direct quotation, translation, pastiche, allusion, collage, parody, and other kinds of intertextual figures produces an intertext which is new content with a new text. In postmodern literary works, intertextuality is utilized to interpret the text in the changing conditions of the present and to bring it into a new existence. As Linda Hutcheon states, this

Apart from individual differences, social and cultural conditions are assumed among the reasons behind mental disorders, psychological distress and neurotic disabilities. In this study, the role of society and authoritative forces will be questioned to scrutinize the core reasons behind the neurotic disorders through correlating the concepts of social theory of alienation and the Freudian psychoanalytic theory of neurosis. Therefore, The Caretaker (1960), by Harold Pinter, will be examined by taking into consideration the internal and external forces in individuals’ life. The paper aims to examine and interpret the play from the Freudian psychoanalytic perspective in order to disclose the effect of external forces on individuals’ psyche under the condition of oppression and authoritative forces. In the first place, the study touches shortly upon the Freudian Psychoanalytic Theory and the Theatre of the Absurd and then gives brief information about the play, The Caretaker. Later, the study dwells on the analysis of the play from the point of the Freudian Psychoanalytic Theory.
