Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The couplet claims that no heavenly wrath equals love that has curdled into hatred, and no infernal fury matches a woman who has been rejected. It presents spurned affection as the most violent emotion imaginable, a sweeping generalisation stated with dramatic force.
