As common as they are, it’s important to distinguish between allusions and other literary devices like the following:


Allegory – when a character symbolizes a real-world problem, value, or occurrence

Analogy – when two unrelated objects are compared to show similarities

Archetype – a universal idea, symbol, pattern, or character type used in a story

Citation – directly referencing a relevant author or source by name

Foreshadowing – an indirect reference to something that will happen later

Parody – imitating an author or style with intent to ridicule

Pastiche – imitating an author or style with intent to celebrate

Satire – uses humor, irony, or exaggeration to criticize, mock, or poke fun at a target (often a politician)
