Allusions Definition-a reference within a work to something famous outside it, such as a well-known person, place, event, story, or work of art, literature, music, pop culture. Purpose-Lets reader/viewer understand new information, characters, plot, setting, etc. by connecting it to something already known.

Not to be confused with “ILLUSIONS” Allusion “Problems” Not to be confused with “ILLUSIONS” In order to understand allusions, one must have a good grasp on “well-known” works of literature, art, music, pop culture, etc. So, if one is not well-read, it will be difficult to identify allusions and fully grasp why an author/writer/director uses a certain allusion. This sometimes makes allusions difficult for students to understand.

Allusion “Problems” = Allusions are NOT references to someone/something only a small group of people know about. So, you wouldn’t say, “Sally’s smile looked like my mom’s smile.” While this is a method of comparison, it is not to something well-known (outside of your community).

Purpose of Allusions Whenever you come across an allusion, stop and ask yourself: What does the writer want me to understand about this character, setting, plot, etc. by connecting it to something with which I am already familiar? What is the author’s purpose in using this allusion? To create the same feeling/mood as the original work? For comedic effect? To show character’s motives or traits?

Allusion Examples Sally had a smile rivaled only by that of the Mona Lisa. Since most people are familiar with the painting, they can imagine Sally’s almost expressionless smile. What does this show about Sally?

Allusion Example (Art to Film) The makers of the Scream movie ALLUDED TO Munch’s work of art “The Scream” in order to instill fear.

Allusions Example (Film to Film) KARATE KID DISNEY’S HERCULES Hercules ALLUDES TO Karate Kid when Hercules is training. Disney uses this allusion so the viewer thinks of Karate Kid and how, after training in the sunlight, Daniel wins the big match. The allusion is used to FORESHADOW that Hercules will also be successful in his big fight.
