Allusion Notes
Allusion:
A
reference
to a
specific
book, play, historical event, mythological creature/god, or other
artistic or historical work.
Ex: “She was undefeated in all her events. She blew past the other runners in the 100m, smoked them all in the 500m, but like Achilles, she eventually fell, the hurdles her heel.”Slide9
Allusion Notes
An allusion MUST be specific
.
Not an allusion
:
“She looked like a dwarf with her stout body and big ears.
Definitely an allusion
:
“She looked like the stout, big-eared Dopey, clumsily following Snow White.”Slide10
Two Types of Allusion
Direct Allusion:
The historical or artistic work or person is mentioned directly
. This can include using direct titles, names, quotations, etc.
Ex: “
’Cause
you were
Romeo
, I was a
Scarlet Letter
, and my daddy said stay away from
Juliet
…”Slide11
Two Types of Allusion
Indirect Allusion:
The connection to another historical or artistic work or person is IMPLIED
. No names are mentioned directly. Often, this happens when plot structures or character traits closely resemble another work, character, or historical event.
Ex:
What is the indirect allusion in this scene from
MacBeth
?Slide12
Purpose of Allusion
Allusions are used to draw comparisons between the situation in the work you’re reading and with the work or historical event alluded to.
Ex:
This director made the allusion to Hitler here to make the audience realize how ruthless
MacBeth
had become. It’s meant to make the audience feel uncomfortable with
MacBeth’s
actions and to foreshadow
MacBeth’s
downfall.Slide13
