Big guns go boom
One example of an allusion in "A Thousand Splendid Suns" is the reference to the fable of Rostam and Sohrab from the Persian epic "Shahnameh" by Ferdowsi. This allusion is seen in the naming of Mariam's son, Zal, which is a nod to the character of Zal in the epic who was the father of Rostam. This allusion helps to add layers of meaning and depth to the story, as it mirrors the themes of sacrifice and tragic relationships present in the novel.
By invoking the muse at the beginning of the epic, the poet is indicating that the story he is about to tell is of great importance and worthy of divine inspiration. The allusion to the muse also suggests that the poet is humble and recognizes the role of external sources of inspiration in his work, rather than taking credit solely for himself. This shows that the poet values tradition and seeks to honor the muses in creating his epic.
Classical allusion is an indirect reference to a Greek or Roman legend. It is most often used in poetry, but even Shakespeare used it. There were several of them in "Romeo and Juliet," including: "From forth day's path and Titan's fiery wheels."
