Allusion in literature can be narrative technique, such as dream , vision or other device that misleads , confuses , or tricks character. Some common allusion example to my dog , our neighborhood park is garden of Edan . ( alludes to Christian bible ) Iam Juliet to your Romeo . Her hair was long , her foot was light , her eyes were wild . These lines are great example of how Keats uses illusion in this poem to encourage reader to analyze difference between reality and fantasy. Thank you for your wonderful educational literary channel.

As helpful and brilliant as always :) the one example that first came to mind was actually an allusion in Taylor Swift's Love Story lyrics: you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter... I very much like it, as it makes reference to two great literary classics
Yes! That is a terrific example of two allusions packed into a very short phrase! Thanks so much for keeping the conversation going, María! And, as always, for your support for our work.
It's true Allusion can escape notice if no attention is made. As I was reading 'Trying This One for Size' by J.H. Chase, I came across the word 'Shylock' and decided to go over the net to dig it's meaning only to find that Shylock is a character in Shakespeare's 'The Merchant of Venice' whose name, Chase used when describing 'Tom Lepski' (a character in his novel) because of similarity in behavior between the two characters in these two different literary works.
Thanks for the comment, Paul! Yes, that is certainly a Shakespearean allusion, and one that has quite a problematic history. Shakespeare's portrayal of this character draws upon old, antisemitic stereotypes of Jews in Europe, and for that reason, later allusions often might be seen to draw upon similar stereotypes.
In September 1,1939 poem by W. H. Auden, That has driven a culture mad, Find what occurred at Linz, What huge imago made A psychopathic god: I and the public know What all schoolchildren learn, Those to whom evil is done Do evil in return. It indirectly tells about the birth of Hitler, his ambitions, and evil intentions. Am I right sir?
Nice work, Hema! This poem certainly alludes to those events, though so extensively that allusion (which is usually brief) might not be the best term to use. Though you could argue that the title, form, and occasion also allude to Yeats' poem "Easter 1916." Thanks for keeping the conversation going!
This series is extremely helpful for my pupils : clarity with accessible examples shown on screen, illustrations and format. Thank you and please continue past (?) pandemic!
Thanks so much, Natalie! We're so happy to hear that your students are enjoying the videos. And yes, we'll definitely be continuing the series after the pandemic (here's hoping it ends soon...).

In September 1,1939 poem by W. H. Auden,
That has driven a culture mad,
Find what occurred at Linz,
What huge imago made
A psychopathic god:
I and the public know
What all schoolchildren learn,
Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return.
It indirectly tells about the birth of Hitler, his ambitions, and evil intentions.
Am I right sir?
