Describing Anger

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.

Ephesians 4:31

Anger is a diverse emotion ranging from mildly irritated to fuming mad. The following are examples of how to describe anger in a character.

Please comment below if you find this blog useful and I’ll post more like this.

Anger flared across her face

She said with a heavy sarcasm

She was frowning with anger

A helpless anger simmered in her

I quivered with frustration

Her face hardened

Her pithy insults (concise and to the point)

A fiery exclamation of wrath and disdain

She shot him a warning look

He spat our his rage freely

His menacing attitude

Thundering rage

Tart temper (sharp or acid in taste)

She said peevishly (crossly annoyed)

He was wild with rage 

His expression darkened

A first faint trace of irritation

His eyes were two angry black points

She sighed heavily

He was in a stormy mood

My anger faded

She looked at me with annoyance

His knuckles whitened

Her mouth was in a tight pout

His face was ravaged with despair

I felt a childish wash of anger

A frown flickers across his forehead

Crackling with anger

He was trembling with rage

He felt a searing rage

His eyes were shining with fury

Intractable temper (hard to control or deal with)

A frown flashed across his face

She sat in a little bubble of resentment

She turned hard

A voice thick with anger

A feeling of trembly rage

She was full of icy fury

Eyes flaming

Her face was tight with anger – Prisha

A slow uncoiling of anger

I felt a stab of anger

A wave of violent fury rose inside me

Cold fury

He gives an exhalation of frustration

To say sharply

He throws me a hard look

A flag of anger hits me

Something snaps inside me

A flash of annoyance

His mouth is set in a firm line

A caustic remark, look, tone humour – scathing, sarcastic

His eyes flashed

His voice shook with anger

A slow fury began to consume me

I give a dismissive grunt

Throbbing anger

Anger prickles over me

Fired with rage

I felt a wave of anger

I feel a prick of anger

My skin prickled with anger

It made my blood boil

I saw a glint of disappointment in his eye

A quivering rage

Shaking with anger

A twinge of anger

The hisses that curled through her mind like tendrils of smoke

I feel a wave of frustration

His temper flared up

He took an annoyed breath

I burn with outrage

He said with delicate disdain

Anger blooms on his face

Rage rushes through me

His anger flared

He burned with resentment

Outrage flared in his chest

My fury softened into a selfish resolve

Her mouth tightened in anger

A flint of anger sparked inside me

A rush of anger

A dart of anger

A violent red-hot solar flare of rage.

A sense of menace

She feels her back go up a bit

He’s struck with a sudden fury

Her anger flares

His anger erupts

He feels a colossal rage surging in his chest

A surge of annoyance

She snorts derisively

Incandescent with rage

I swallow the festering ball of fury

Her mouth twisted up on one sideFury spill sover inside me like a pan of boiling milk

Barbed comments

I snap in a burst of frustration

Hot fury

A mask of burning fury

His placed face contorts into a mask of fury

A forest fire of fury

Rage swept through her like a wildfire

Rage went through me like a hot knife

Pure, undiluted rage

His face twisted in anger

He keeps his jaw clenched shut

Burning with frustration

A spark of anger sizzled inside him.

Her eyes blazed

A disdainful sneer

Red faced with indignation

A look of thunder clouded his chiseled features

His face darkened 

Her smooth brow puckered in a frown

To burn with resentment 

A wave of scalding heat ran through her

A revulsion festering inside her

Anger suddenly ignored in her

She wrinkled her nose in distaste
