Allusion
1 answer
An allusion is a figure of speech that refers to a well-known person, event, or literary work to enhance the meaning of a statement. It can also be a direct or indirect reference to something. For example, when someone says "I was surprised, it was like finding a hidden treasure," they are making an allusion to the idea of finding something valuable unexpectedly. Allusions can be used in literature, poetry, or everyday speech to add depth and meaning to the text or conversation.
