Literary illusions? D’oh!
Simpsons movie spotlights an enduring icon
They are layered, so that an episode you saw when you were a kid was funny but when you are in high school you start noticing some of the sexual word play and all that sort of thing. And when you get your Ph.D in comparative literature and you watch the same episode, you’re suddenly understanding some of the literary illusions and philosophic illusions.”
I just wanted to point out that the word you want is literary ALLUSIONS and philosophic ALLUSIONS. Granted, I like a good literary illusion (though I’m not waiting in line for it).
