An example of Allusion:
“He was a real Romeo with the ladies.”
Romeo was a character in Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, and was very romantic in expressing his love for Juliet.
Also in this Video about Warm Bodies even as a Zombie he has allusion in the way that he describes himself.
Makes me understand allusion better when it is actually put into movies, but then I don't actually realize that that's what is going on.
