[NSFW] I'd rather become a nun/monk than give up _____.

Asked by 6rant6 (13700points) May 5th, 2011

I’m directing A Midsummer Night’s Dream in which Hermia is given the choice of:
1) Marrying the man her father picked and giving up the one she loves
2) Being executed
3) Living as a cloistered nun the rest of her life.

What would make you choose the third alternative?

Finish this: I’d rather become a nun/monk than give up _____.

I went to a Catholic School. I am pretty sure that a few of the nuns swung the other way. Those nuns didn’t have it so bad. ;-)

…give up on my true love. [ maybe ]

I was going to make that NSFW good for something but I don’t know what the rules are for monks and nuns. Do they have to behave?

@noelleptc Wouldn’t you have to give that up if you became a nun?

If Hermia becomes a nun, she’ll have to give up her true love – it only saves her from marrying someone she doesn’t like or being executed. You don’t really become a nun because it will save you from giving up something, because nuns/monks have to give them all up anyway. What it saves you from is things like death, rape, forced marriage, etc.

Then my “true love” answer works ^^

Chocolate. I just simply _can’t_give that up.
Even the doctor will agree with me as I’ve been diagnosed as being a chocoaholic.

My dirty habits. Bless me father for I have sinned, & it felt soooooo good!

I’m confused too. Do you mean “I’d rather become a nun/monk than do ____?”

Hermia created her own 4th choice after all by running away with Lysander.

@noelleptc I agree. A poorly thought out question. OP should be ashamed.

Masturbation. Contrary to popular belief, I probbaly wouldn’t have to give that up if I was a nun.

being an asshole. Oh I’d make a great father, for penance I’d make you sniff a scratch and sniff sticker at the bottom of the bowl of holy water.

Give up sex.

Wait. How does that work?

If I don’t become a monk, then I have to give up sex. But if I do become a monk, I also have to give us sex. Well, I suppose I could be a monk that has sex, but somehow, that seems like cheating.

How about I don’t give up sex and I don’t become a monk? That seems only fair, doesn’t it?

@wundayatta be a friar, they can don whatever they want.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@wundayatta See, that’s what I’m saying! Hell, forget about sex, sometimes you have to give up things like freshly baked bread hot from the oven.

wundayatta's avatar

@MyNewtBoobs I done gave that up when I left home for college.

MyNewtBoobs's avatar

@wundayatta I can get it from this one bakery near me that puts emphasis on not only making it all themselves, but having it extra fresh.

wundayatta's avatar

@MyNewtBoobs My mother used to make it every week growing up. Our favorite thing when the bread came out of the over was to cut off the end and slather it with butter and eat it. Since there were only 2 ends and there were 5 people, that didn’t always work out so well.
