Borrowing its title from Henry Peacham's 1593 warning that 'there be no uncleane or unchast[e] signification contained in the Metaphore, ' it explores the worry expressed in Elizabethan rhetoric books that a metaphor might beget illegitimate meanings. Shakespeare's plays demonstrate that a metaphor can indeed generate unruly meanings which, once uttered, have the power to transform a community. Analyses of \u003cem\u003eOthello\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTitus Andronicus\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMacbeth\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eKing Henry IV Part 1\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHamlet\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrate various aspects of metaphoric performance. These include metaphor's power to import discourses into speech communities; metaphor's sacrificial nature; the relationship between metaphor and equivocation; metaphor's carnivalesque qualities; dead metaphor's ability to haunt living speech; and metaphor's ability to circulate unacknowledged collective fantasies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M.
