In William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Gonzalo, an old lord, describes how the island could be a utopian world and how this world would function. He gives it characteristics that people enjoy but does not take into account how difficult it is for people to adjust to these sorts of changes.

and admonish them for hampering the ship crew‟s efforts: “Yet again? What do you here? Shall we give o‟er and drown? Have you a mind to sink?” which enrages Antonio and Sebastian. Sebastian curses the Boatswain: “A‟pox o‟ your throat, you bawling, blasphemous, incharitable dog!”. This again contains corporeal, gory imagery, and again reference is made to the tortured body (A‟pox o‟ your throat), and indicates this is punishment for the Boatswain is “blasphemous” and “incharitable”.
