The purpose of Martin Luther King's allusions in his speech are "to evoke images of other freedom fighters" and "to illustrate that some laws are unjust."

<h3>What is allusion?</h3>

Allusion is a type of figurative language and rhetorical device. It consists of mentioning someone or something that is well known in order to emphasize an idea or convey an image. For example, if you wish to emphasize the idea of kindness and generosity, you can allude to the Good Samaritan from the Bible, a character who is well known for having such qualities.

In Martin Luther King's speech "I Have a Dream," many allusions are made. One of them, for example, is an allusion to President Lincoln. After reading the speech, we can find two purposes for those allusions:

  • to evoke images of other freedom fighters.
  • to illustrate that some laws are unjust.

By making allusions, thus, King makes his speech more persuasive and evokes ideas about freedom and laws. We can conclude that the answer provided above is correct.
