The shrew – an unpleasant, ill-tempered woman characterised by scolding, nagging, and aggression – is a comedic, stock character in literature and folklore, both Western and Eastern. The theme is illustrated in Shakespeare's play The Taming of the Shrew. As a reference to actual women, rather than the stock character, shrew is considered old-fashioned, and the synonym scold (as a noun) is archaic. The term shrew is still used to describe the stock character in fiction and folk storytelling. None of these terms are usually applied to males in Modern English.

  • Laŭ PIV Megero estis unu el la tri Erinioj. Kaj de tie megero estas ruza, malica virinaĉo. De tie megeri estus konduti kiel megero. Tiu termino aplikiĝas al virino konsiderita de proskimuloj kiel violenta, perfortema, grumblema, petolema kaj de malfacila traktado. Tiu tipo de rolulo havas plej popularan ekzemplon en la verko de Ŝekspiro nome La dresado de la megero. (eo)
