Usage:
--
Resentment
,
Anger
.
Anger
is
the
broader
term
,
denoting
a
keen
sense
of
disapprobation
(
usually
with
a
desire
to
punish
)
for
whatever
we
feel
to
be
wrong
,
whether
directed
toward
ourselves
or
others
.
Resentment
is
anger
exicted
by
a
sense
of
personal
injury
.
It
is
,
etymologically
,
that
reaction
of
the
mind
which
we
instinctively
feel
when
we
think
ourselves
wronged
.
Pride
and
selfishness
are
apt
to
aggravate
this
feeling
until
it
changes
into
a
criminal
animosity
;
and
this
is
now
the
more
common
signification
of
the
term
.
Being
founded
in
a
sense
of
injury
,
this
feeling
is
hard
to
be
removed
;
and
hence
the
expressions
bitter
or
implacable
resentment
.
See
Anger
.
Anger
is
like
A
full-hot
horse
,
who
being
allowed
his
way
,
Self-mettle
tires
him
. --
Shak
.
Can
heavently
minds
such
high
resentment
show
,
Or
exercise
their
spite
in
human
woe
? --
Dryden
.
