Allusion.....

"Our Town" is an overall allusion to life and reality. It relates to how everyday people take life for granted until they are gone or someone else is. Emily Webb and the other characters show this. Also this play is an allusion to Shakespear's plays. Emily and George relate to Romeo and Juliet's love story, in a way. Like Romeo and Juliet, Emily and George's love ends tragically when Emily dies. The ending also somewhat implies that George commits suicide in the end. Also some of the quotes in this play are allusions to the bible and the constitution. These are the only allusions i could understand and find.
