HATRED, AVERSION. Hatred or aversion draws back the body as if to avoid the hated object, the hands at the same time thrown outspread as if to keep it off. The face is turned away from that side toward which the hands are thrown out, the eyes looking angrily and obliquely the same way the hands are directed; the eyebrows 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. Hatred Cursing the Object Hated. Poison be their drink, Gall, worse than gall, the daintiest meat they taste; (This seems Imitated by Dr. Young.) Why, get thee gone, horror and night go with thee. Go dance about the bower and close them in ; Hatred of a Rival in Glory. He is my bane, I cannot bear him ; The Revenge. One heaven and earth can never hold us both; ROWE'S Tamerlane. ANGER, RAGE, FURY. When hatred and displeasure rise high suddenly 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, it becemes 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 brow, 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 forcible tone. Anger and Scorn. Thou den of drunkards with the blood of princes! Thus I devote thee to the infernal gods! Slave, do thine office! Strike deep as my curse! Scorn and Violent Anger, Reproving. Why have those banished and forbidden legs Frightening her pale-faced villages with war, And ostentation of despised arms? Comest thou because the anointed king is hence? And in my loyal bosom lies his power. Were I but now the lord of such hot youth Rescued the Black Prince, that young Mars of men, And minister correction to thy fault!—Richard II. REVENGE. 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 dried this blood of mine, Nor age so eat up my invention, Nor fortune made such havoc of my means, "Much Ado about Nothing. Eager Revenge. OI could play the woman with mine eyes, And braggart with my tongue! But, gentle heaven, Bring thou this fiend of Scotland and myself; Within my sword's length set him; if he 'scape, 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. Some. times it is marked with dignified spirit, as in the following: Reproaching with Want of Friendship. You have done that you should be sorry for. And drop my blood for drachmas, than to wring To you for gold to pay my legions, Which you denied me. Was that done like Cassius ! Reproach with Want of Courage and Spirit. To teach thee safety! Thou art perjured, too, And hang a calf's skin on those recreant limbs. -King John. FEAR AND TERROR. Fear is a mixture of aversion and sorrow, discomposing and debilitating the mind upon the approach or anticipation of evil. When this is attended with surprise and much discomposure it grows into terror and consternation. Fear, violent and sudden, opens wide the eyes and mouth, shortens the nose, gives the countenance an air of wildness, covers it with deadly paleness, draws back the elbows to the sides, lifts up the open hands, with the fingers spread, to the height of the breast, at some distance before it, so as to shield it from the dreadful object. One foot is drawn back behind the other, so that the body seems shrinking from the danger, and putting itself in a posture for flight. The heart beats violently, the breath is quick and short, and the whole body is thrown into a general tremor. The voice is weak and trembling, the sentences are short and the meaning confused and incoherent. Terror of Evening and Night Described. Light thickens; and the crow Makes wing to the rooky wood; Good things of day begin to droop and drowse; Fear from a Supernatural Object. Angels and ministers of grace, defend us! -Macbeth. Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts from hell, Thou com'st in such a questionable shape That I will speak to thee. I'll call thee Hamlet, Horror at a Dreadful Apparition. How ill this taper burns! ha! who comes here? Fear of being Discovered in Murder. Alack! I am afraid they have awaked, And 'tis not done! the attempt, and not the deed, He could not miss them! Had he not resembled SORROW. Sorrow is a painful depression of spirit upon the deprivation of good or arrival of evil. When it is silent and thoughtful it is sadness; when long indulged, so as to prey upon and possess the mind, it becomes habitual, and grows into melancholy; when tossed by hopes and fears, it is distraction; when these are swallowed up by it, it settles into despair. In moderate sorrow the countenance is dejected, the eyes are cast downward, the arms hang loose, sometimes a little raised, suddenly to fall again; the hands open, the fingers |
