When Helena said it of Hermia, she didn’t mean it kindly:
O, when she’s angry, she is keen and shrewd!
She was a vixen when she went to school;
And though she be but little, she is fierce.
Certainly Hermia took them as fighting words:
‘Little’ again! nothing but ‘low’ and ‘little’!
Why will you suffer her to flout me thus?
Let me come to her.
But at some point this century, the last line of Helena’s quote from A Midsummer Night’s Dream has been claimed as a compliment to girls everywhere: And though she be but little, she is fierce.
