Googling the well known phrase...
‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’ is an idiom adapted from a line in William Congreve’s play, The Mourning Bride. The line from which it came is ‘Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.”
‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’ means that there is no greater anger than that of a woman who has been rejected in love.
Oh so totally pitifully true. That the scorned is scorned for good reason does not lessen the level of the fury. I imagine it is not pleasant to be scorned. But, one cannot help but wonder why those prone to experience scorn do not adapt their scornful behavior so as to avoid experiencing scorn...
