ABSTRACT
Few individuals, however, can long reflect about a hated person, without feeling and exhibiting signs of indignation or rage. If, on the other hand, he is all-powerful, then hatred passes into terror, as when a slave thinks about a cruel master, or a savage about a blood thirsty malignant deity. The reddening of the skin has been observed with the copper-coloured Indians of South America and even, as it is said, on the white cicatrices left by old wounds on Negroes. The body is commonly held erect ready for instant action, but sometimes it is bent forward towards the offending person, with the limbs more or less rigid. But the muscular system is often affected in a wholly different way; for trembling is a frequent consequence of extreme rage. A grinning expression and the protrusion of the lips appear sometimes to go together.
