Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
No one is angrier than a woman who has been rejected in love. This proverb is adapted from a line in the play The Mourning Bride, by William Congreve, an English author of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. (See also Music has charms to soothe a savage breast.)
