wanting to see others suffer; or threatening evil
- ...About her lank and all o'erteemed loins, A blanket, in the alarm of fear caught up;— Who this had seen, with tongue in venom steep'd, 'Gainst Fortune's state would treason have pronounc'd: But if the gods themselves did see her then, When she saw Pyrrhus make malicious sport In mincing with his sword her husband's limbs, The instant burst of clamour that she made,— Unless things mortal move them not at all,— Would have made milch the burning eyes of heaven, And passion in the gods.2.2 — Act 2 Scene 2 — A room in the Castle (85% in)
- ] We do it wrong, being so majestical, To offer it the show of violence; For it is, as the air, invulnerable, And our vain blows malicious mockery.1.1 — Act 1 Scene 1 — Elsinore (84% in)
