Literary Allusions in BR+Frankenstein (1 Viewer)

[Lukybear]

What are generally the effects of litearary allusions? Like quoting of paradise lost in Frankenstein. Or Blake's quote by Roy, in BR.

 

[Aerath]

Composers use allusions to former texts to use the message of the earlier text, and endorse a similar allegorised fiction in their own texts.

For instance, Paradise Lost essentially talks about the notion of the tabula rasa and noble savage, which is also apparent in Shelley's text.
