reference to the saying
hell hath no fury like a
woman scorned, meaning "no one has more wrath than a woman whose
love has been rejected, or who has been treated with indignant
contempt." The saying comes from a
line in the
play The Mourning Bride (1697), by
English author
William Congreve (1670@1729). The full
line is "Heav'n has no rage, like
love to hatred
turn'd, nor
Hell a fury, like a woman scorn'd."
