Archetypes vs Allusions

So..... What's the difference between and Allusion and an Archetype??

An Archetype is a type of character, action, or situation that occurs over and over in literature, a pattern that occurs in literature and life. These are not specific to a single text or character.

An Allusion is a reference to a literary, mythological, or historical person, place, or thing. These are specific to a certain text, character, event, person. 




Watch Katy Perry's music video for her song wide awake and identify as many examples of archetypes and allusions as you can.
