Tregre, Fuller and Hawthorne

An interesting fact I would like to share with the class is the fact that Hawthorne's character Zenobia in The Blithedale Romance, is supposed to be modeled after Margaret Fuller. Margaret was a guest at Brook Farm, the community Blithedale is also modeled after. Before The Blithedale Romance was written, Brook Farm was a community to act as the epitome of a perfect one. Blithedale was the result of Hawthorne’s reflection of his experiences.
Here’s a list of coincidences and things that do not match up between Fuller and Zenobia:
-Zenobia's death was modeled another women named Martha who drowned herself and not the shipwreck that ended Fuller's life. Though the manner of death does not match, there are other parallels between Zenobia and Fuller.
-Like Fuller, Zenobia was an activist for women's rights.
-Many critics think that when Hawthorne has the character, Priscilla, hand off a letter from Fuller, it is to draw attention away from the fact that he made Zenobia resemble Fuller so much.
-The character Zenobia wore flowers in her hair, much like Fuller would wear tropical flowers in hers.
-Her character was also similar to Zenobia in the way she liked to be in the center of attention and was educated.
-There were too many mirrors for the public to deny that Zenobia closely resembled Fuller.
-Before Blithedale was written, the community of Brook Farm existed. It was the transcendentalist's enterprise, Margaret Fuller was a transcendentalist.
-Fuller’s family believed the Zenobia to be modeled after Margaret and were furious.
Hawthorne was coy. Whether it was intentional or not for Zenobia and Fuller to mirror eachother, The Blithedale Romance was modeled after Hawthorne’s stay on Brook Farm as to which Fuller often visited.
Coincidence? I think not.
