- W2321895614 abstract "HE TWENTIETH-CENTURY TASTE for bawdy in Renaissance plays has not yet, so far as I am aware, brought to full light an obscene pun of which Shakespeare occasionally made use, as did his fellow poets. While I hesitate to make yet another word wanton, I would suggest that in this case the bawdiness becomes thoroughly significant, rather than merely a historical curiosity, because the dramatic force of a speech turns upon it. In this instance there is at least one major scene which cannot be fully understood-by the actors, by the audience, or by the reader-without a knowledge of Shakespeare's punning. And in this instance, moreover, the pun is important to the structure of the play as a whole. The word in question is fault. Usually Shakespeare uses it without ambiguity to mean defect or failing, but it is one of a group of words, including crack, flaw, and cut, which were also slang terms for the female genitals in sixteenthand seventeenth-century English. I The basis for all of these slang terms seems to be a rough anatomical analogy; at least one of the terms, crack,, is still current.2 I" @default.
