Please re-read the article. The slang meaning of ‘nunnery’ is mentioned. Also, please do not misquote the play (“…his mother plotted with his uncle…”).

In Shakesperes day… get thyself to a nunnery is an insult. A nunnery was not a convent but a brothel. He was pissed off because his mother plotted with his uncle to kill his father. He had lost his faith in all womanhood.
