What is an allusion?  An indirect reference in a literary work to a previously released literary work or to a person, place, or thing in history.  Key…to a previously released item.

In other words...   An allusion is when you are watching a movie or commercial or reading a book, and you recognize a scene or song or phrase (etc.) as something that was in an earlier movie or book.   The allusion is in the newer text. The text being alluded to is the older text.

What text is being alluded to? In other words, what are the original texts?original

WHY do authors make allusions? 1) Help the reader understand a difficult idea by relating it to an already known idea (from a familiar text) 2) A way for the writer to connect to the reader – A literary “wink” to the reader saying “you get me?” 3) Comedic effect…by referencing a potentially shared experience

Why Use Allusions?  Used to summarize broad, complex ideas or emotions in one quick, powerful image. –Self-sacrificing character  Jesus – Really bad and mean character?  Devil  Cain

How do I find / notice allusions?  Just like when making inferences… –Background knowledge!!! –Clues from the text  Background knowledge is critical— you have to know what an author is referring to in order to understand the allusion

What if I miss an allusion?  Nothing! Well, almost nothing. (You won’t blow up or anything)  Allusions are risks by the author to make a point or connect to a reader.  If you don’t get an allusion, and you are the intended audience, the writer has failed.  Ideally the “story will go on,” but you might miss the literary “wink” by the author.

Three Most Common Texts If you know these three texts, you will find and understand more allusions found in Western literature. 1) The Bible 2) Greek mythology / The Odyssey 3) Shakespeare
