Is an allusion only to written works what would it be when referring to a person?
An allusion is a literary device used to clarify a complex problem by the act of alluding or reference. Referring to a place, historical event, literary work, mythological characters, religious books, myth, work of art. An example of an allusion referring to a person is one referring to Juliet by Shakespeare: "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!" ChaCha!
