When used metaphorically, allusion can be an even more powerful and persuasive literary or rhetorical device. Also, historical and literary events or people can be used to make comparisons.

Allusions can give a deeper meaning to a story by referring to another piece of work that most are familiar with. If a character within a story uses an allusion (refers to another piece of work), it can give deeper insight into what kind of person they are. Spoken by Cornelius.
