A Woman Destroys Her Boyfriend’s Scooter and Says “Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned”
The police in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida got a call last week when some neighbors heard 23-year-old Patrice Johnson arguing with her boyfriend. The cops ran their names, and arrested the boyfriend for an outstanding warrant. But Patrice was still mad at him, and the cops had a feeling she might take it out on his scooter, which was parked outside. But she promised she wouldn’t touch it. Shortly after that, they got called again. Because Patrice had broken her promise and completely destroyed the scooter. The seat was ripped, the odometer was smashed, and the mirrors were broken. And when they asked her why she did it, she quoted “The Mourning Bride”, a play by William Congreve from 1697, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” That’s usually attributed to Shakespeare. And the actual line goes, “Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.” It’s not clear how her boyfriend had scorned her, but she was arrested for criminal mischief.
