"Which Shakespearean character dies with the words, ""A plague o'both your houses ! They have made worms of me...""?"
"Both Your Houses Both Your Houses is a 1933 play written by American playwright Maxwell Anderson. It was produced by the Theatre Guild and staged by Worthington Miner with scenic design by Arthur P. Segal. It opened at the Royale Theatre on March 5, 1933 and ran for 72 performances closing May 6, 1933. It was awarded the 1933 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and included in Burns Mantle's ""The Best Plays of 1932–1933"". The title is an allusion to Mercutio's line ""a plague on both your houses"", in ""Romeo and Juliet"". Reviewing a 1992 production, ""Variety"" described ""Houses"" as reminiscent"
"By dawn, the city is in cinders, dead rats blanket the ground. Noting the death of the rodents coinciding with the end of the plague, the Londoners come to the horrible realization that it was the rats who’d been the cause of the plague all along (All the Rats Are Dead). A woman cries out, “Plague Rat!” as the sole rat survivors, Melbourne and Bethesda, drift down the Thames on Hookbeard’s boat. Melbourne takes the condemnation in stride, having accepted his role in the world. Lovingly he gives Bethesda the jewel he’d stolen from King Charles and lied about to"

She experiences receiving these songs from underground in her home, where old burial grounds are located, giving a possible origin to this ability. Many other parasites are discussed within the story, each one adding to the plausibility of the story. One of these is Toxoplasmosis, a parasitic disease caused by the protozoan ""Toxoplasma gondii"". Another is Trematoda a parasitic worm commonly referred to as a fluke. Wolbachia, a bacterium, was also mentioned. In the novel, Cal is infected"

And this is what it is to die, I hope you had a nice goodbye. Did you ever think as a hearse goes by, That you may be the next to die? And your eyes fall out, and your"

"Sockburn Worm In the folklore of Northumbria, the Sockburn Worm was a ferocious wyvern that laid waste to the village of Sockburn in Durham. It was said that the beast was finally slain by John Conyers. The tale is said by many to be the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's poem ""Jabberwocky"" which he wrote while in Croft-on-Tees and Whitburn. Each newly consecrated Bishop-Prince of Durham, while entering the Bishopric for the first time at the local Ford or over the bridge over the River Tees at Croft-on-Tees, was presented with the falchion that John Conyers used on the worm.

The Rector Mr. Michael Mompellion proposes that the villagers quarantine themselves to avoid spreading the “plague-seeds” beyond the village.

"critical reviewer of Keats's ""Endymion"" (1818), who, in Shelley's opinion, traumatised John Keats, worsening his condition. The worst punishment that Shelley can contrive is that such a scoundrel should live: ""Live thou, whose infamy is not thy fame!/ Live!"" Faced with the contradiction that he would wish a long life upon the miscreant who took his hero’s life, in stanza 38 the poet bursts open the gates of consolation that are required of the pastoral elegy: ""Nor let us weep that our delight is fled/ Far from these carrion kites."" In stanza 39, he uses the imagery of worms as"

The Doctor states that the Great Intelligence, which has been existing as a mirror of Simeon's thoughts, will vanish with the erasure of Simeon's memories by the worm. Instead, the Intelligence takes control of Simeon's body. The influence of the Great Intelligence quickly wanes, and Simeon falls dead. Outside, a salt-water"
"""... then worms shall try / That long preserved virginity, / And your quaint honour turn to dust, / And into ashes all my lust"" in ""To His Coy Mistress"" depends on a pun on these two senses of ""quaint"". By Shakespeare's day, the word seems to have become obscene. Although Shakespeare does not use the word explicitly (or with derogatory meaning) in his plays, he still uses wordplay to sneak it in obliquely. In Act III, Scene 2, of ""Hamlet"", as the castle's residents are settling in to watch the play-within-the-play, Hamlet asks his girlfriend Ophelia, ""Lady, shall I"

"tapeworm in Mira Grant's novel ""Parasite"", and the talking tapeworm in Irvine Welsh's novel ""Filth"", are fictional versions of conventional intestinal parasites. Tapeworms have complex life-cycles, often involving two or more hosts of different species, and are transmitted as the eggs are passed in faeces and eaten by another host. The unattractive lifecycle allows the novelists to exploit their readers' emotional reactions to the parasites.
