Allusion An allusion is..  a statement that refers to something without mentioning it directly  'Allusion' means referring to something in an indirect, roundabout way.  Example: For instance, when I say, "Chocolate is my Achilles' heel!" I am indicating towards my weakness for chocolates in an indirect, stylishly attractive way instead of passing a prosaic statement on the lines of, "Chocolates are my weakness.

 An Illusion is… What is Illusion?  Something that deceives by producing a false or misleading impression of reality.  'Illusion', on the other hand means an impression of something that does not (or did not), in fact, exist.

Irony is…  The use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning  “I couldn't win the match, thanks to the correct decisions of the referee.
