“A cocky young fool I'd been, assuming I'd be a junior sailmaker. Me with no Academy training, and no wealth to help advance me. Of course I'd be pushed aside by the likes of Otto Lunardi's boy. I felt no anger with the captain. He was an honorable man and had always done his best for me. But in my guts I already felt a hard, hot loathing for Lunardi's son”(65). Otto Lunardi’s son, Bruce, has lived a rich life with his father, and his father has appointed him a sailmaker for the Aurora. Matt sees Bruce as a thief, “stealing” his job he always wanted; a sailmaker. This is just one example of how jealousy drives Matt.

Maybe we could honor modern America’s internal hostile activities acting but at the same time maintaining a watchful eye toward state. Power becomes the goal of media control, publicity, and cruelty as the state shields its control of the political. In return, this inspires the state to pinpoint a native opponent- “every state provides, therefore, some kind of formula for the declaration of an internal enemy” (46). To answer why such phenomenon takes place, Schmitt responds that “if a part of the population declares that it no longer recognizes enemies, then, depending on the circumstance, it joins their side and aids them”

“Great captain a fair wind and the honey lights of home are all you seek. But anguish lies ahead; the god who thunders on the land prepares it, not to be shaken from your track, implacable, in rancor for the son whose eye you blinded. … Though you survive alone bereft of all companions, lost for years, under strange sail shall you come home, to find your own house filled with trouble: insolent men eating your livestock as they court your lady. Aye, you shall make those men atone in blood! … Then a seaborne death soft as this hand of mist will come

“There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that intimidation is suicide…” (Emerson 370).

We are jealous people. That is just a part of human nature: we want what we cannot have. Men always strive to have better clothes, better cars, better women, you name it. It does not matter what it is, as long as they see it as being better than what they have. People will watch movies like The Wolf of Wall Street, seeing the negative effects of a lifestyle of excess and indulgence, and still think “I want that!” John Updike shows this concept of jealousy in his short story “A&P”. Throughout the story Updike uses mood to create a certain atmosphere given off by Sammy, characterization to show the power of desire and symbolism to represent his jealousy.

When a person first thinks of murder, envy probably is not their second thought, but it should be their third. Statistically speaking, jealousy ranks number three in the most common motives for manslaughter. So although it may seem like a simple enough emotion, many feelings coincide. To most, it is a stressful and unwanted inner conflict that can cause or further aggravate thoughts of insecurity and inadequacy. Also, apparently, violence-inducing rage.
Othello is a play about jealousy’s causes and effects. Each character in the play had different reasons to be jealous and each of them chose to deal with it a certain way. All three characters Iago, Othello, and Roderigo had such cases and in the end dealt with different conflicts and outcomes. It’s important to understand that their actions in dealing with their jealousies were a reflection of their characters, and persona.
