5. frailty the name is woman

origin :

From Shakespeare's Hamlet, 1602:

Must I remember? why, she would hang on him,

As if increase of appetite had grown

By what it fed on: and yet, within a month -

Let me not think on't - Frailty, thy name is woman! -

A little month, or ere those shoes were old

With which she follow'd my poor father's body...

Hamlet is angry that his mother, Gertrude, has married his uncle Claudius within a month of his father's death. The speech generalizes the attribution of weakness of character from one particular woman to womankind.
