What is an example and the function of an allusion in literature

English

An allusion is a reference to a famous person or thing used to bring something to mind. 

For example,

When someone says they were "shot by Cupid's arrow", they mean they fell in love with someone, and Cupid is often used to reference falling in love. 

Hope that wasn't too confusing, lol.

Readers who encounter new or challenging-to-decipher words in a sentence, paragraph, or passage can use context cues to their advantage to assist them understand what those words imply.

The most practical way to broaden one's vocabulary is to learn a word's meaning by seeing it used in a phrase or paragraph because a reader may not always have access to a dictionary when they encounter an unfamiliar word.

Many words can mean a variety of things, and the reader needs to be aware of this. Only definitions that make sense in the context are available to the reader.
