Here's why:
* "Devil" was a common word in Shakespeare's time, but "monk" wasn't used to describe a specifically evil figure. Monks were often associated with piety and religious devotion.
* The phrase "devil monk" likely wouldn't have been used in Shakespeare's time. It's a modern construction that combines the two words to create a sense of contradiction and evil.
Instead of "devil monk," Shakespeare might have used phrases like:
* "A monk of hell"
* "A fiend in holy robes"
* "A hypocrite cloaked in piety"
* "A wolf in sheep's clothing"
These phrases capture the essence of a deceitful and evil person pretending to be virtuous.
If you're trying to understand a specific context where "devil monk" is being used, it's important to look at the surrounding text and consider the characters and themes involved.
