From Shakespeare's Othello, 1604:
IAGO:
It is as sure as you are Roderigo,
Were I the Moor, I would not be Iago:
In following him, I follow but myself;
Heaven is my judge, not I for love and duty,
But seeming so, for my peculiar end:
For when my outward action doth demonstrate
The native act and figure of my heart
In compliment extern, 'tis not long after
But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
For daws to peck at: I am not what I am.
Only Shakespeare knows what he implied by, 'I will wear my heart upon my sleeve,' but it is up to us, the readers, to determine it's meaning. Others may have a different opinion, but I think it means being vulnerable. Putting your heart out there for all to see is being honest and real with your self and others.
