literary references

Literary references are mentions or allusions to characters, themes, events, or works from literature in other texts, speeches, or conversations. They enrich the content by providing additional meaning or context that draws upon the reader's familiarity with the original work. For example, saying someone has a "Pandora's box" implies they have unleashed unforeseen troubles, referencing the myth of Pandora. Such references can enhance a narrative, convey complex ideas succinctly, or establish a deeper connection with the audience, relying on shared cultural knowledge. Understanding these references can deepen one's appreciation of the text and its intricacies.
