La máscara del Zorro
"Zorro" contains numerous explicit references to Zorro works created before but taking place after Allende's tale. Most of the novel seems to correlate with most of the original Zorro tales. It even mentions Esperanza, Diego's wife in "The Mask of Zorro". The epilogue states that Diego lived to a comfortable old age after Esperanza's death, which "The Mask of Zorro" clearly contradicts, though this is just a hopeful thought of the future from Isabel during the time she narrated the story. Also, Lolita Pulido meets Zorro well before their previously-established first sexual encounter.
