An example of allusion in Mark Twain's works is in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" when Huck mentions stories from The Bible, such as the story of Moses and the Promised Land, to highlight his moral dilemmas. Twain uses biblical allusions to add depth and complexity to Huck's character and interactions with society in the novel.
