Scorn is a shortening of Old French escarn, of Germanic origin. The phrase hell hath no fury like a woman scorned is a version of a line in William Congreve's 1697 play The Mourning Bride : âHeav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'dâ.
Which means heâs also a first-class storyteller and a first-class self-deceiver, and that weâre going to hang on to his words. âFencesâ: The revival of August Wilsonâs play at the Cort Theater stars Denzel Washington and Viola Davis in a marriage brought to aching life.
