	NovelGuide: The Comedy of Errors: Novel Summary: Act 5 Scene 1
		In her adroit manipulation of Adriana’s account of Antipholus’s supposed madness, the Abbess, like Pinch, offers another opportunity for Shakespeare to satirize the quack diagnosis, in which anything that one says is taken in such a way as conveniently to confirm a diagnosis already made, and the purveyors of conventional wisdom who dispense such diagnoses.
		First, the Abbess suggests that Adriana was not tough enough on her husband’s infidelities, and that this caused him to lose his reason, but when Adriana insists that she rebuked him night and day about it, the Abbess quickly changes tack and says that Adriana has obviously driven him mad with her jealous nagging.
		The Abbess acts as a kind of deus ex machina (literally, ‘god from the machine,’ after the god that traditionally descended onto the stage at the end of a play to resolve all conflicts and give everyone their just deserts).
