    The quote "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" comes from a line in William Congreve's 1697 play The Mourned Bride. In the play, one character observes that a scorned woman's fury can match or exceed the rage of heaven or hell when love turns to hatred. The full quote refers to both heaven's rage against hatred and a woman's fury from being scorned.

    William Congreve observed in his 1697 play, The Mourned Bride:

    Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.
    This is usually paraphrased as hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
