An ALLUSION is a literary device where a writer refers to another work, historical event, person, or cultural reference indirectly. It's a subtle or indirect reference that relies on the reader's familiarity with the referenced material to create a connection or evoke certain associations. Allusions can add depth, richness, and additional layers of meaning to a text by drawing on shared cultural knowledge or invoking specific emotions or ideas associated with the referenced material. They can be found in various forms of literature, art, music, and everyday language.
