About This Quote

In the book of Genesis, it is written that Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Also, in this verse from Shakespeare’s Othello , Iago says, “And didst thou imbibe mighty potions from the fruit of the grape? And hast thou one Ache, this morning?” The word “grape” is a reference to a poisonous plant. The word “head” refers to a part of the body. It has been known for some time that people who suffer from headaches often have terrible hangovers. In this quote, Iago is saying that he would sometimes get headaches, or migraines, and then become very angry with himself later on because of them.
