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.
[1913 Webster]
Anger is like
A full-hot horse, who being allowed his way,
Self-mettle tires him. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
Can heavently minds such high resentment show,
Or exercise their spite in human woe? --Dryden.
[1913 Webster]
