"Men are all but stomachs"
Understanding Appetite in Othello
IAGO: "I am not what I am" (1.1.71).
"...I follow but myself;
Heaven is my judge, not I for love and duty,
But seeming so, for my peculiar end:
For when my outward action doth demonstrate
The native act and figure of my heart In compliment extern, 'tis not long after
But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
For daws to peck at: I am not what I am" (1.164-71).
OTHELLO: “My blood begins my safer guides to rule” (2.3.219)
IAGO: "the food that to him [Othello] now is as luscious as locusts, shall be to him shortly as bitter as coloquintida"
(1.3.391-392).
EMILIA: “They are all but stomachs, and we the food; They eat us hungerly, & when they are full They belch us” (3.4. 121-123).
"...the story of my life, / From year to year, the battles, sieges, fortunes, / That I have passed. / I ran it through, even from my boyish days, / To the very moment that he bade me tell it; / Wherein I spake of most disastrous chances, / Of moving accidents by flood and field / Of hair-breadth scapes i' the imminent deadly breach, / Of being taken by the insolent foe / And sold to slavery, of my redemption thence / And portance in my travels' history: / Wherein of antres vast and deserts idle, / Rough quarries, rocks and hills whose heads touch heaven..."
