Common Fury Plots:

The Scorned Woman's Revenge: The Fury's husband has strayed, and she is driven insane by jealousy. Her rival, her husband, and their illigitimate children will pay. Either she murders them herself, or (in many ways better) she forces her husband to destroy his own mistress and bastards. In a variant, the other woman is totally innocent, but must be eliminated because she is the object of the husband's sexual obsession.

For the Good of the Child: Another woman, usually an Adulteress, has given birth. The Fury does not believe the mother to be capable of raising the child and machinates to seize the child in order to give it a "proper upbringing." If this is carried through, the child will be miserable under the Fury's care.
