clination of mind towards it, it is called hatred, When our hatred and disapprobation of any object are accompanied with a painful sensation upon the apprehension of its presence or approach, there follows an inclination to avoid it, called aversion. Hatred, or aversion, draws back the body as to avoid the hated object; the hands at the same time thrown out spread, as if to keep it off. The face is turned away from that side towards which the hands are thrown out; the eyes looking angrily, and obliquely the same way the hands are directed; the eye-brows are contracted, the upper lip disdainfully drawn up, and the teeth set; the pitch of the voice is low, but loud and harsh, the tone chiding, unequal, surly, and vehement, the sentences are short and abrupt. A description and example of this passion from Shakespeare is given in the introduction to these examples, p. 313. To these we shall add a few others : Hatred cursing the object hated. Poison be their drink, Gall, worse than gall, the daintiest meat they taste; ; All the foul terrours of dark-seated hell. Shakesp. Hen. VI. This seems imitated by Dr. Young. Why get thee gone, horrour and night go with thee. Go dance about the bow'r and close them in ; Their hissing necks upon them from above, And mingle kisses-such as I would give them. Hatred of a rival in glory. He is my bane, I cannot bear him ; One heaven and earth can never hold us both; ANGER, RAGE, FURY. Revenge. Rowe's Tamerlane. When hatred and displeasure rise high on a sudden from an apprehension of injury received, and perturbation of mind in consequence of it, it is called anger; and rising to a very high degree, and extinguishing humanity, becomes rage and fury. Anger, when violent, expresses itself with rapidity, noise, harshness, and sometimes with interruption and hesitation, as if unable to utter itself with sufficient force. It wrinkles the brows, enlarges and heaves the nostrils, strains the muscles, clinches the fist, stamps with the foot, and gives a violent agitation to the whole body. The voice assumes the highest tone it can adopt consistently with force and loudness, though sometimes to express anger with uncommon energy, the voice assumes a low and for cible tone. Narrative in suppressed Anger. My liege, I did deny no prisoners. A pouncet-box which ever and anon, He I then all smarting with my wounds being cold, Out of my grief and my impatience Answer'd neglectingly, I know not what, He should, or he should not ;-for he made me mad, To see him shine so brisk, and smell so sweet, And talk so like a waiting gentlewoman, Of guns, and drums, and wounds, (heav'n save the mark!) And telling me the sovereign'st thing on earth, Was parmacity for an inward bruise And that it was great pity, so it was, Betwixt my love and your high majesty. Shakespeare's Henry IV. First Part, Scorn and violent Anger, reproving. Tut! tut! Grace me no grace, nor uncle me no uncle, Why have those banish'd and forbidden legs Dar'd once to touch a dust of England's ground? But more than why-Why have they dar'd to march many miles upon her peaceful bosom ; So Frighting her pale fac'd villages with war, And ostentation of despised arms? Com'st thou because the anointed king is hence? Why foolish boy, the king is left behind, REVENGE. Shakes. Rich. It. Revenge is a propensity and endeavour to injure the offender, which is attended with triumph and exultation when the injury is accomplished. It expresses itself like malice, but more openly, loudly, and triumphantly. Determined Revenge. I know not: if they speak but truth of her These hands shall tear her; if they wrong her honour, Time hath not yet so dry'd this blood of mine, Nor age so eat up my invention, Nor fortune made such havock of my means, Eager Revenge. Ibid. Much Ada, Sc. Oh, I could play the woman with mine eyes, Bring thou this fiend of Scotland, and myself; Shakes. Macbeth Unrestrained Fury. Alive! in triumph! and Mercutio slain k Away to heaven, respective lenity, And fire-ey'd fury be my conduct now !→→→→ Staying for thine to keep him company, Romeo and Juliet. REPROACH. Reproach is settled anger or hatred chastising the object of dislike, by casting in his teeth the severest censures upon his imperfections or misconduct : the brow is contracted, the lip turned up with scorn, the head shaken, the voice low, as if abhorring, and the whole body expressive of aversion. Reproaching with Stupidity and Inconstancy. Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home? Το grace in captive bonds his chariot wheels? You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things! And do you now put on your best attire ? Be gone; Run to your houses; fall upon your knees, Shakesp. Jul. Cas. |
