	Dan Thurston's "Zenobia's Romance"
		Zenobia's public persona was probably much more satisfying to her than her true self: Zenobia isn't even her real name, but a pen name which she adopted for everyday life, and "encouraged its constant use" (14).
		It would seem that Zenobia's apprehension comes from an episode in her past, in which she, after a lifetime of not knowing love, entered into a relationship and was hurt by it.
		When she is denouncing Hollingsworth, Zenobia's words apply just as much to her as to Hollingsworth: "You are a better masquerader than the witches and gipsies yonder; for your disguise is a self-deception" (179).
