Jealousy And Anger In The Case Of Jon Burke

In the play, Othello, jealousy and envy are prominent themes from the beginning to the end. As the play starts to unwind, you can see jealousy is the major cause of all the drama in the play. Jealousy or envy is a feeling of discontented or resentful longing by someone else’s possessions , qualities or luck. Iago becomes engulfed by jealousy and it causes him to corrupt Othello. They are two men that cause similar crimes but we sympathize for Othello and hate Iago because they have different attitudes towards their crime.

Jealousy is a powerful emotion that can blind oneself from identifying the truth. Shakespeare heavily emphasizes this theme throughout the drama Othello, especially through the actions of characters. In the play the heinous antagonist, Iago, uses each character’s jealousy to deceive that person and manipulate the truth. His false promises and deceitfulness bring to the demise of many of the main characters in the play, including the protagonist, Othello. Othello could not have been deceived if it were not for his powerful jealousy. Therefore, Shakespeare is telling us that jealousy is an ugly trait that can hide the truth, which in turn causes many problems between characters in the play.

Burke had plenty of motives that led to killing his sister JonBenet Ramsey. In fact, Burke made it clear that he was jealous of his sister getting all the attention from their parents. Their dad was always busy with work and their mom was always busy with JonBenet’s career (The Forensic outreach,

There is an abundance of evidence in this case, which has produced many theories on how JonBenet was murdered. A basic Internet search reveals there are endless articles and videos documenting these theories due to the popularity that this case received. Based on my research, I believe the Ramsey family, as a whole is culpable for the murder of JonBenet. Burke Ramsey, I believe, is the actual person who committed the murder and his parents helped cover it up. After watching Chief James Kolar give a presentation about his book at the Wilkinson Public Library, I began to really believe there was no possibility of an intruder theory. Instead, he presented facts that made me think Burke Ramsey was the killer. This prompted me to watch the only

A parent never wants to hurt somebody, but once a person hurts their kids- they need to hurt somebody. Andre Dubus’ short story, “ Killings” begins with Matt and Ruth Fowler attending their 21-year-old son, Franks, funeral. The reasoning behind his death was because Frank had been dating Mary Anne Strout, soon- to- ex wife and mother of Richard Strout’s two kids. Franks first encounters with Richard results in a fight. This act caused Franks parents, especially Ruth, to question their son’s relationship with the older woman. After Frank refused to end the relationship, Richard proceeded to get his vengeance by shooting Frank in front of Mary Anne, and the two young sons. Matt couldn’t stand the thought of Frank’s killer walking freely on the streets

A Separate Peace teaches lessons, also Gene goes through situations with Finny that will cause Gene not to find peace. Gene’s envy and imitation has affect him a lot in the novel.

There are many actions the characters make in the book The Compound. For example, Eli tricked his brother, Eddy, into going with their grandma to go get Eddy's meds so Eli could get the first airplane ride. This action shows some competition and maybe a little jealousy. Some jealousy because Eddy always got to do things first and was popular. Eli wanted to be the head of the show this time. Because he did this, it caused Eddy and their grandma to be left out of the compound (Bodeen, 2008, p. 2). If Eli didn’t act like this, the entire family would be in the compound. There are many things that can be learned from this like, in life it is important to be nice to siblings because the next day they could be gone.

“Envy is ignorance; Imitation is Suicide” (Emerson 370-372). The author John Knowles, wrote the novel called “A Separate Peace”, and the story begins in 1958 but flashback to the years 1942-1943. The narrator Gene is in his early thirties, visiting the Devon school for the first time in years. He is intelligent, with a completive nature. “A Separate Peace” demonstrates the universal truth that humans can’t remain peace in their relationships with others until they are able to find inner peace with themselves.

Jealousy is an emotion very evident in our society. We often compare ourselves to others, noticing what they have that we do not, most commonly in terms of money or looks. Even those close to us spark our jealousy, maybe a friend or sibling; although most wouldn't admit the fact. Author John Knowles touches on this subject in his first published novel A Separate Peace. Through the voice of Gene, Knowles uses figurative language in a self-deprecating tone to show jealousy, as evident in the passage, “The second wave, as it tore toward the beach with me, spewed me a little ahead of it, encroaching rapidly; suddenly it was immeasurably bigger than I was, it rushed me from the control of gravity and took control of me itself; the wave threw me

My topic is jealousy in the play Othello. Shakespeare wrote this play as a focus on the dangers of jealousy. It shows how jealousy can be kept going by nothing more than circumstantial evidence and how it can destroy people’s lives. In Othello jealousy appears in many ways, from sexual suspicion to professional competition, but as in all cases it is destructive. Shakespeare proves that jealousy is inherently unreasonable in this play. He proves it is founded in the psychological issues of the jealous person, not the behavior of the one who prompts the jealous feelings.

“Envy is a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another 's advantages, success, possessions, etc” (Dictionary. Com). It is hard to be satisfied as a human. People feel envy about other’s wealth, looking, and job. Pride is what causes envy, as human beings people do not like it when others are better. Some people say envy is a sickness, but some people say that is a motivation to be better. Although envy and jealousy are similar, but they are two different things according to studies.
