The basis of the concept of intertextual approach, intertextual relationship, intertextual reading method, intertextual understanding, intertextual criticism method and intertextuality, which is used with titles such as intertextuality, can be traced back to the first written texts. The idea that a text cannot be independent from another text, and the discussions that started with the idea that there are some relations between texts, have made this concept one of the methods of criticism by evaluating it under a scientific view in the last century. The aim of this study is to compare Faust, one of the theatrical works of English literature written in the 16th century and written by Christopher Marlowe, and the rewriting of Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a writer from a different culture, by using the data of comparative literary science with the method of intertextual criticism.
