O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains! that we should, with joy, pleasance revel and applause, transform ourselves into beasts!
– William Shakespeare
Othello, Act 2, Scene 3. Cassio laments losing his reputation and army job because of his drunken lapse and misbehavior. He uses personification and animal imagery to describe how the "enemy" drink stole his reason and turned him into a beast.
