Hell hath no Fury Like a Woman Scorned !!
Jump to: Newest in thread
It is five hundred years since Shakespeare penned that immortal line, and it seems little has changed in that time, as evidenced by the latest high profile Chris Hugne/Vicky Price saga.
So ladies what is it that unleashes the dogs of hell in the 'fairer' sex, and is revenge the best course of action.as opposed to a dignified silence ? |

Hmmmm men scorned can be just as bad. They're often better at seeming ok and reasonable but in reality planting seeds of discontent and bitterness. 
Everyone expects women to become shrieking harpies but they don't always see it coming from a man!  |

Im a big believer in karma so always try to keep a dignified silence..
But sometimes that's so bloody hard lol and revenge makes you feel better at the time.

While many attribute the quote to William Shakespeare, it actually comes from a play called the "The Mourning Bride" (1697) by William Congreve. The complete quote is "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned / Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."

I've seen a close friend endure shocking stalking tactics by her ex who used his profile as a way of attempting to humiliate her in public.
Despite this, and continued abuse in private, she's held her head high, remained very dignified and very silent. It's certainly not always the woman scorned! |

Of course taking that pedantry further we could say that the word "fury" is being used here to refer to female personifications of vengenace in Greek mythology. They are also called the Erinyes, or the Eumenides. A scorned woman is more ferocious and fearful than a Fury that came from the underworld. Although if it was, I would expect the word to be capitalised...

A man plotting revenge on a woman is considered weird and dangerous but a woman doing the same thing to a man is considered cool and calculated.
I think Huhne's wife has come across as exactly what she is: a very pissed off wife who got revenge on her cheating hubby by dumping him in deep shit.
He's a prat, and so is she, and that's all I have to say about these two wastes of space. |

If I am wronged I would say what I need to say the person or people responsible, and then walk away.
I would not plot any revenge as such, however it is unlikely I would lift my finger for them ever again except in a professional capacity.
I am a strong believer of what goes round, comes around, as demonstrated by events of my past.
