Slide8Allusion
Definition: A literary
device used to reference another object outside of the work of literature.
More: The
object can be a real or fictional person, event, quote, or other work of artistic expression. Allusions can be shorthand for adding emotion or significance to a passage by drawing on the reader’s prior associations with the object
.
Example 1:
Big Brother
: Now a reality television show in countries across the world, the term Big Brother comes from George Orwell’s dystopian novel
1984
(he, in turn, may have taken the phrase from a WWII-era billboard). Whereas it once just described a familial relation, “Big Brother” is now shorthand for referring to mass surveillance and abuse of government power
.
Example 2;
Watergate
: The 1972 scandal at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Since the event, the suffix –gate has been added to many dozens of names to refer to scandals
.
Can you think of a scandal that has had the “gate” suffix added to it?
