In the work Doctor Zhivago, Pasternak shows us a wonderful world of intertextuality. The reason why he was able to add the elements of poetry into novels skillfully and creatively is closely related to his life experience. As a poet, he won the Nobel Prize for literature because of his novel Doctor Zhivago, though. This thesis uses the intertextuality theory to analyze how Pasternak combines the structure and subject perfectly in his novels and poems.The part of preface summarizes the present studies on Doctor Zhivago, and introduces the theory of intertextuality. The present paper can be divided into three parts:the first chapter mainly introduces intertextuality between poetry and novel creation. The subject of monody of his early poetry is nature, which highlights the unity of people and nature. He found that the same situation can be inherited and developed into novels, and that paves the way for the long epic Doctor Zhivago. The second chapter analyzes the intertextuality in the novels'structure and imagination; and compares different kinds of narrative and lyrical methods with each other in Pasternak's novels and poetry. On the one hand, the writer put the nature images frequently used in his poems into novels, and thus the novel is made poetic and having an effect of intertextuality. On the other hand, the poems attached to Doctor Zhivago have an intertextual connection with Pasternak's early verses. By the analysis of the images of the hero and heroine, the third chapter emphasizes how Doctor Zhivago discusses the fate of Russian from the height of religious philosophy. The hero and heroine became metaphors. The using of intertextuality heightens the gist of the works.
