Why is act 3 scene 1 called the nunnery scene in hamlet?
Because Hamlet says to Ophelia "Get thee to a nunnery: why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?" It's just a convenient term to identify the scene because it's such a memorable and striking line. It could just as easily be called the "To be or not to be" scene but that's more of a mouthful.
What are the themes of each scene of Hamlet?
1. Act I sc2. "O, that this too too solid flesh would melt...But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue."This soliloquy is spoken by Hamlet after he sees his mother whom Claudius has married, completely reconciled to her new state. She does not mourn the death of her husband (Hamlet's father) and seems happily married to Claudius. Hamlet is shocked at the change in his mother's attitude and this soliloquy expresses his disgust towards all women in the now famous line: "fraility thy name is woman!" In fact, he is so disgusted that he wishes that he could die and that he is even prepared to commit suicide. It is this soliloquy which has led many psychoanalytical critics to conclude that Hamlet suffers from an 'Oedipus Complex.'2. Act I Sc5. "O all you host of heaven! O earth! what else?....I have sworn 't."This soliloquy is spoken by Hamlet after the Ghost reveals to him how Claudius had murdered him. Hamlet is completely overwhelmed by hatred towards his uncle Claudius and vows to kill him in obedience to his father's wishes. Hamlet's father's ghost reminds him to never give up his idea of revenging his murder. So Hamlet practises what psychologists would today term as 'selective amnesia.' That is, deliberately forget everything that has been stored in his memory but always to remember only one thing - to kill his uncle Claudius and fulfill his father's ghost's wishes.
Abuse of women by men in Hamlet play?
In Act 1 Scene 3 Polonius is very insulting toward Ophelia, calling her a "green girl", and suggesting that she is incapable of assessing Hamlet's behaviour toward her. His message is that only he, Polonius, understands Hamlet (as he does not), and that she must obey and not try to think for herself. Her attempt to suggest that Hamlet might be honest in his affection is beaten down with insults. This seems to be the message she gets all the time from her family. We see Laertes treat her similarly earlier in the scene. Ophelia seems so tentative in her opinions: "My lord, I know not what to think", "My Lord, I do not know, but I do fear it" in Act 2 Scene 2. This would be a plausible result of long-term emotional abuse. Does Hamlet abuse Ophelia? This is a more complex question. He is certainly rude and angry in Act III Scene 1 "Get thee to a nunnery!" and his public behaviour toward her at the play-within-a-play is appalling. ("Shall I lie in your lap?" is the equivalent of saying "May I come in your pants?") But his anger and contempt probably springs from his knowledge that not only was she the bait offered by Polonius to trap him, but she was privy to the trap all the time. There does not seem to be a pattern of abuse; Ophelia seems to be puzzled and confused by his behaviour ("Oh, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown") Likewise, Hamlet is pretty tough on his mother in the closet scene. But then, he believes her to be privy to his father's death. "Almost as bad, dear mother, as kill a king and marry with his brother." His intent is to shame her and to persuade her to abandon Claudius, which she does without being forced, and they end the scene almost tenderly. Claudius is invariably tender and loving to Gertrude; he loves her dearly. That is why it is so sad when she goes to drink the poisoned wine. He says, "Gertrude, do not drink" but he cannot say out loud why she should not without exposing himself as a murderer. At this point, he must choose between himself and his loved one and shows his weakness by choosing himself.
