act hysterically and refuse to see reason; throw a tantrum and roll on the ground ❍ 他虽不敢还手，便也～，寻死觅活，昼则刀剪，夜则绳索，无所不闹。(《红楼梦》1051) Though Baochan could not strike back she would throw a tantrum,roll on the ground and threaten to kill herself,searchingfor knives or scissors by day and for a rope by night,raising pandemonium.
