Intertextuality: A piece of literary text that has gathered sources and approaches from another text, while incorporating it into itself.
Mise-en-abyme: A term associated with placing a mirror in front of another, leaving infinite reflections of itself. It refers to placing a story within a story that in some cases can be never ending.
The 4th Wall: An imaginary, invisible wall used in performance/film that removes the actors' acknowledgement that they are being watched by the audience through this. To break the fourth wall is when an actor looks into the camera and speaks to the viewers, as if to acknowledge the division between reality and performance.
