In everyday life jealousy occurs over an outfit, how you look, or a skill someone is really good at, and for some people jealousy will make them do negative things--things they would otherwise not do. In Ray Bradbury’s, Kij Johnson’s, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.’s short stories they all represent jealousy throughout their stories. In “All Summer In a Day”, the children are jealous over Margot seeing and remembering the sun, were as they can’t remember. In “Ponies”, it talks about how Barbara is jealous of TheOtherGirls, and will do anything to fit in with them. In “Harrison Bergeron”, the society is based over the past years of people being “not equal”, so the Handicapper General made everyone equal so there would not be many outburst, but Harrison decides to rebel.

Jealousy is a life trait in all humans and even in all types of animals. People always connect jealousy with the feeling of envy, to want some object, characteristic, or person that others have. It is only but natural to have the sense of envy and jealousy. These emotions can be active in everyday life ranging from stories to real life. Jealousy, given its negative connotation, is always portrayed as an adverse outcome. Hedding this information, not always will being jealous cause poor outcomes. Being jealous or envious can cause both superb and traumatic results. Examples could be if person one were zealously jealous of another’s achievements person one may possibly strive to beat the other. An example of an adverse outcome is as such; person one is jealous that another gets something person one can’t so they, therefore, destroy the one thing that they cannot have. Jealousy is a complex, over wavering gut reaction that can change what someone person would do and think about. When coming down to the roots of jealousy, it can boil down to a more terrible situation than that of good ones. Such as in “The Lady or the Tiger”, all of the decision making can also demonstrate the realism of human jealousy.

The exemplary novels are timeless not only for the stories they tell, but also for the vivid ways in which they depict society at the time when these stories were written.

As the boys attempt to survive and organize themselves under the leadership of the smart and capable Ralph, conflict soon arises when out of spite and jealousy of Ralph’s leadership, a boy named Jack attempts to divide the group and form a barbaric faction focused on hunting.

Rodriguez, DiBello, & Neighbors (2015) investigated jealously and drinking problems and their association with intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators.
