The literary allusion that was made on page 43 was about:
- King Jehu. He was likened to the captors of Mrs. Rowlandson who escaped from the British army in a furious manner.
<h3>What is an allusion?</h3>
An allusion refers to a character who bears some semblance to the person or situation being described in a text. On page 43 of the text, we learn about an allusion to King Jehu in the bible. In 2 Kings 9: 20, Jehu was described as a "furious driver."
In the same manner, the captors of Mrs. Rowlandson moved away from the British army in a furious way. Some of their men were sent to engage the English army while the rest escaped stealthily.
So, the allusion was made in this instance because there was a similarity between King Jehu in ancient Israel and the present captors of the narrator. Allusions help us associate the attitudes of the people referenced to the persons and situations described presently.
