This paper is intended as an investigation of the poetics of diet in Shakespeare’s major tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. As Michel Jeanneret suggests in A Feast of Words: Banquets and Table Talk in the Renaissance, it is right to say that the dietetics in early modern England “prescribes rational control over one’s eating” for gluttons, and that it “seeks to control bodily instincts and subject them to a form of social censure” (73). However, in this study, the main stress falls on the fact that the paradigm of the diet enacted by Shakespeare’s major tragedies draws the different trajectory from the contemporary dietetics: from the release of “appetite,” through “boundless intemperance,” to the purgation. The Shakespearean paradigm of diet is vividly exemplified in Titania’s advice to Bottom on his diet (MND 3.1.160–61). The accelerating “appetites” which start the diet represented in Shakespeare’s major tragedies mainly consist of female characters’ desires: Gertrude’s “appetite” (Ham. 1.2.144); Desdemona’s “greedy ear” (Oth. 1.3.150); Daughters’ hunger for hypocritical words (Lr. 1.1.118–19); a sailor’s wife’s greediness for chestnuts (Mac. 1.3.4–6).
