         <description><![CDATA[<div>-An allusion is an expression designed to call something from a different piece to the viewers mind without mentioning it directly.<br>-Allusions are an important literary device that will enable the author to provide helpful detailed context in a short time period, rather than giving a detailed explanation that will take the viewers attention from the piece away.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>-In the movie series, "Star Wars", the storm-troopers, enemies of the republic, is an allusion that is comparing the storm-troopers to the German soldiers that fought in World War II.<br> -In the movie they are portrayed as the "bad guys" this is a perfect example of an allusion as the movie references them as the German soldiers without ever directly mentioning it.<br><br>-In the movie, "The Lion King", the entire movie is based off of a Shakespeare play "Hamlet" which the uncle kills the father and the son embarks on a morally conflicting journey seeking revenge for his fallen father.<br> -In the movie they never directly introduce Hamlet to the viewers but instead create a plot that is nearly identical to that of Hamlet. This is an effective use of the literary device allusion as they reference another piece of literature without ever directly mentioning it, letting the viewer make detailed connections without taking away from the new piece.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>#1-Act one scene two Lines one and two:<br>"O, that this too too solid flesh would melt<br>thaw and dissolve itself into dew"<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;-Because of the situation he is in Hamlet wishes he could be like the dew on plants. He does not want to be in this morally conflicting battle and wishes he could be like the dew on plants and evaporate.&nbsp;<br><br>#2-Act one scene two lines 7-8:<br>"Tis an unweeded garden, that grows to seed: things rank and gross in nature"<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;-Hamlet is referencing back to when his father lived, saying that the world was a garden. When he said the world was a garden he is alluding back to the biblical Adam and Eve in saying that the garden given to them was perfect. He is comparing that perfection to when his father was alive. Hamlet might also be alluding the wedding between Claudius and Gertrude when he says that the garden is now a rank place. The rank place is alluding the wedding because in Elizabethan times it was incestuous to have a widow get married to her brother in law.<br><br>#3-Act one scene two line 18:<br>"frailty, thy name is woman!"<br>&nbsp;-Hamlet is indirectly alluding to his mother in this line of the soliloquy. He talks about "Frailty" as if it were a living being that could understand his emotions. Hamlet is clearly unhappy about his mothers marriage and uses allusion to portray his feelings. This helps the reader understand how Hamlet feels without giving a long detailed explanation regarding the situation with his mother.<br><br>#4-Act one scene two lines 23-25:<br>"would have mourned longer--married with my uncle, my fathers brother, but no more like my father than i to Hercules"<br>&nbsp;-Hamlet again uses an allusion to compare his uncle to his father, he says no more alike than he is to Hercules, obviously stating that they are extremely different. This is important to the story because it captures Hamlets hatred towards his uncles actions, and his mother marrying his fathers killer all in three lines. The reader can see just how terrible Hamlet feels about each situation using allusions.<br><br>#5-Act one scene five lines 15-18:<br>"O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain! my tables,--meet it is i set it down, that one may smile, and smile, and be villain; At least i'm sure it may be so in Denmark"<br>&nbsp;-Hamlet has just encountered the ghost of his father for the first time. He tells his that his brother, Hamlets uncle, was the one that poisoned him. This alludes to the anger that Hamlet has been feeling which he was originally angry at his mother for marrying his uncle. Hamlets father than asks Hamlet to let the heavens punish him for the crimes he has committed.&nbsp;<br><br>'<br><br></div>]]></description>
