Blessed fig’s-end! the wine she drinks is made of grapes: if she had been blessed, she would never have loved the Moor.
– William Shakespeare
Othello, Act 2, Scene 1. Iago rubbishes Roderigo’s idealized idea of Desdemona as a woman of high virtue – "full of most blessed condition." He uses the metaphor of the wine that she drinks to say that she is just like every other woman. His racial prejudice is evident in declaring that if Desdemona was "blessed" she would never have loved a black man like Othello.
