Talk:Masquerade (trope)

I removed the Borribles Trilogy because it does not strictly fit the definition...the Borribles are known by society and are actively being hunted down. I also added the Littles series.

"Wainscot Society"?

The link to Wainscot Society links to this page itself, so it has no explanation. I've ended up on this page as I was looking up "wainscoting"; so I'm guessing --like The Borrowers-- a hidden society living within your wainscoting/walls... but that doesn't fit Heinlein so please someone explain?86.31.58.117 (talk) 09:21, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello! I found a source that explains "wainscot societies" and changed the previous word choice as well as added the source to reflect this. Hope this helps clear up some confusion about the meaning of the term! Lily Monty (talk) 06:54, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Inconsistencies in history of term

The statement that attributes Heinlein as the one to coin the term "masquerade" seems to be in conflict with some of the information I found in my research. I have found earlier examples of masquerades being used as well as a source that points to a different potential origination point. Lily Monty (talk) 06:05, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
