Quote #10
What, Abigail become a nun again?
False and unkind!
…'Tis time that it be seen into,
For she that varies from me in belief
Gives great presumption that she loves me not
Or, loving, doth dislike of something done. (4.1.1-12)
When Barabas reads that Abigail's has become a nun, he takes it as a personal betrayal. During this time period, "unkind" would mean both "not nice" and "not the same kind." Barabas really does believe that the Christians are categorically different creatures than Jews. The fact that Abigail wants to join them indicates that she is of their "kind," and not his.
