Allusion - indirect references
Look for proper nouns; capitalized words are a giveaway.
Even if you don't know the full meaning of the allusion, even if you've never seen it before, you know they must be referencing something specific.
Mecca, Lady Macbeth, Hufflepuff, Sodom and Gomorrah, crossing the Rubicon, Oedipus, Camelot, Captain Ahab, Mr. Spock, Big Brother
If you see a capitalized word you don't recognize, Google it!
