Allusions are when an indirect reference is made to another person, place, or thing. An allusion in Romeo and Juliet would be: In Act 3, Scene 5 when Romeo says 'Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death; I am content, so thou wilt have it so. I'll say yon grey is not the morning's eye, 'Tis but the pale reflex of Cynthia's brow;' The allusion is to Cynthia, which is another name given to the Greek goddess of the hunt and moon, Artemis. Romeo is pretending that the light is the moon instead of the sunrise.
