Seminar 10. Quotations, Allusions
Task 1 Answer the following questions.
What is an allusion?
An allusion is a figure of speech that references a person, place, thing, or event. ... In this example, the wife would have succeeded in telling her husband he's wonderful, simply by alluding to this fictional romantic man. These references can be direct or indirect, but they will often broaden the reader's understanding.
Why do authors use allusions? What do you think?
Allusions are used as stylistic devices to help contextualize a story by referencing a well-known person, place, event, or another literary work. These references do not have to be explicitly explained; more often than not, writers choose to let readers fill in the blanks.
Where can we find Allusions?
You can identify allusions by thinking critically about what part of a sentence or paragraph talks about something by relating it to something that comes from outside the text.
