allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It does not describe in detail the person or thing to which it refers.

<em>a reference in a text to a well-known text, person, event, or thing</em>. This is the right option. The author makes the decision to refer to these items generally in an indirect way. For example, you should not wait as <em>Penelope</em>. Get out and meet a new man!.  Penelope is Odysseu's wife.

These are not correct options:

- words, events, or dialogue in a text that hint at a future plot development. This is called foreshadowing.

-a communication between characters that develops character or plot.  This is characterization

- incidents placed in a text by the author to mislead or trick the reader: This is plot device.

What do Macbeth's conflicting emotions about the murder of Duncan suggest about his character?
guapka [62]

Answer: A. He is complex, with both good and bad qualities.

Macbeth's defining characteristic is his desire for power. This is his tragic flaw, and the trait that will lead to his downfall. However, Macbeth is far from just being an evil character. Although he does many immoral things, he is deeply conflicted about his acts. The fact that he finds himself feeling conflicting emotions shows that he is a very complex character, with both good and bad qualities.
