There are several ways that an allusion can help a writer: 1  Allusions engage the reader and will often help the reader remember the message or theme of the passage.  Allusions allow the writer to give an example or get a point across without going into a lengthy discourse.
While allusions can be an economical way of communicating with the reader, they risk alienating readers who do not recognize these references. Strong fiction (or poetry for that matter) will use allusions so that the fiction works on both levels. Readers who understand the allusions gain a richer understanding of the work, while those who don't can still follow the story and be entertained or enlightened by it. Allusions are often thought of as a kind of hypertext, linking the reader to another tradition or literary history.
