hell hath no fury like a woman scorned proverbial saying, late 17th century, meaning that a woman whose love has turned to hate is the most savage of creatures; a fury here may be either one of the avenging deities of classical mythology, or more generally someone in a state of frenzied rage. The form of the saying probably derives from Congreve's The Mourning Bride (1697), ‘Heaven has no rage, like love to hatred turned, Nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorned.’ The idea is found in the early 17th century, in Beaumont and Fletcher's The Knight of Malta ‘The wages of scorned love is baneful hate,’ and can ultimately be traced back to classical Greece, in Euripides' Medea, ‘in other circumstances a woman is full of fear and shuns to confront force and iron; but when she has been wronged in a matter of sex, there is no heart more bloodthirsty.’
