Her eye must be fed. And what delight shall she have to look on the devil? When the blood is made dull with the act of sport, there should be, again to inflame it and to give satiety a fresh appetite, loveliness in favor, sympathy in years, manners, and beauties, all which the Moor is defective in.
– William Shakespeare
Othello, Act 2, Scene 1. Iago’s undisguised racism and hatred for Othello emerge once more, as he tries to convince Roderigo that Desdemona will soon tire of her black devil husband. When she has her sexual fill of Othello, he predicts that she will seek another sexual partner. Iago’s crude use of a food and appetite metaphor equates human love with pure animal lust and gratification. But love is something Iago doesn’t believe in.
