Subject: About 'dup'

Hello,

mainarray=Hash.new(0)
subarray=Hash.new(0)

thirdarray={
 'a' => '0',
 'b' => '0',
 'c' => '0',
}

subarray['first']=thirdarray.dup
subarray['second']=thirdarray.dup

mainarray['x']=subarray.dup
mainarray['y']=subarray.dup

mainarray['x']['first']['c']=56
mainarray['y']['first']['c']=73
p mainarray


the result is:
{"x"=>{"second"=>{"a"=>"0", "b"=>"0", "c"=>"0"}, "first"=>{"a"=>"0",
"b"=>"0", "c"=>73}},
 "y"=>{"second"=>{"a"=>"0", "b"=>"0", "c"=>"0"}, "first"=>{"a"=>"0",
"b"=>"0", "c"=>73}}}

Why did the mainarray['x']['first']['c'] become 73,too?
dup does not work if I use it twice?
