Opaskar, Joanna.

Food in Shakespeare's plays life "consists of eating and drinking". - 89 p.

Adviser: Gretchen Mieszkowski.

Thesis (M.A.)--University of Houston-Clear Lake, 2008.

Shakespeare frequently represents fundamental aspects of life in terms of food. This paper examines four major categories of food metaphor: feasting as formation of individual and social identity, food and sex, food as weakness, and food as violence and death. In this way, the food references provoke a discussion of community bonding, marital fidelity, physical gratification versus asceticism, and cycles of life and death. Complex emotional, psychological, and moral concerns are expressed in simple, physical terms in order to reduce them to their essence. Food as analogy guarantees that audiences will be able to relate to the subject matter. The fact that everyone eats imbues the food metaphor with its power as a fundamental, universal constant in the human experience.
