I look Forward to someone saying to me a that was  you see in be finally grown  dear Abby fools Rush in in second guessing Shakespeare you should not be so Quick to give credence to a High school students English teacher. Most serious Shakespeare scholars now agree that in Hamlet Quot nunnery Means a Convent or cloister. It was not until 1936 that Dover Wilson in his a what happens in Hamlet a first suggested that it meant a Brothel along with other silly notions most of them freudian. Such interpretation became fashionable for a while Laurence Olivier gave it acceptability but it has largely faded. Although there was some use of the word a a nunnery in elizabethan England As a Brothel such use was not extant. Moreover no one can rationally read this scene without concluding that Hamlet in urging Ophelia dear Abby thither is crudely suggesting that Only in such a place can she Hope to escape the evil machinations of Man and the vile institution of marriage which has so despoiled his Mother. He can hardly have meant Brothel to this end. Isaac Asimov in adopting the conventional meaning offers another suggestion a but is it Ophelia he plans to Send to a nunnery or is it his Mother Queen Gertrude a remember that Edward the confessor sent his Mother Emma to a nunnery once he had gained the throne be assured that for every opinion of Shakespeare there is another to the opposite and hundreds in Between.

It is there that hot can go to Reed  a Page from the Oxford English dictionary 2nd edition volume x shows under the word a a nunnery 1 a place of residence for a body or Community of nuns a building in which nuns live under religious Rule and discipline a Convent. 2 a House of ill Fame. Aha so there is indeed a question about what Hamlet meant in his speech to Ophelia. I rest my Case. Dear Abby our suggestion that Telephone operators eliminate the a Amsz and a a sirs to avoid mistakes is a Good one. If the woman sounds like a Man she should give up her four pack a Day habit. And if the Man sounds like a woman lifting barbells might help. A Vivian grow in Palm Springs Universal press Syndicate
