Not long back, I was trying to discover what Shakespeare play contains the phrase, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scored.” The subsequent internet goose chase revealed that Shakespeare never said it, at least not in any of his published works. The phrase comes from The Mourning Bride by another famous British playwright, William Congreve:
“Heaven has no rage, like love to hatred turned,
Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.”
Many thanks to RalphKeyes.com for pointing this out. Here are some Congreve quotations at Bartleby.com.
