The answer is: A. No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be.

Allusion is a reference to a person, place or event. In the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," the author T. S. Eliot makes an allusion to William Shakespeare's character Hamlet. He also rephrases Hamlet's famous phrase "to be or not to be" from his famous soliloquy.
