Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land the great ones eat

Summary

This quote by William Shakespeare from his play "Pericles, Prince of Tyre" suggests a comparison between the sea and land, symbolizing different domains in which fishes and men respectively reside. By stating that the great fishes devour the smaller ones, Shakespeare portrays a harsh reality that also exists in human societies. This quote can be interpreted as a commentary on the natural order of life, where those in positions of power can exploit and overpower the weaker individuals, echoing the concept of survival of the fittest.
