Anxious attachment style Lysa Arryn from the novel “A Song of Ice and Fire” (Martin, 1996, 2000) Jealousy: Lysa was romantically interested in Petyr Baelish, however, Petyr constantly ignored Lysa and was romantically interested in Catelyn Stark who was Lysa’s sister (Martin, 1996). Consequently, Lysa became extremely jealous of Catelyn for stealing Petyr away from her (Martin, 2000). Lysa’s jealousy reached a climax when she became jealous of Sansa Stark who inherited many physical features of Catelyn (Martin, 2000). Jealousy was a quintessential trait exhibited by individuals with anxious attachment style which was highlighted by Hazan and Shaver in their research on attachments (Hazan & Shaver, 1987). Marshall, Bejanyan, Di Castro and Lee (2012) also found that individuals with anxious attachment styles were more prone to exhibit their feelings of jealousy on the internet (Marshall, Bejanyan, Di Castro, & Lee, 2012). Lysa’s jealousy towards Catelyn for stealing her romantic interest could be perceived as a convincing example to consider Lysa as an individual with an anxious attachment style. Need for physical proximity: Another key attachment figure for Lysa was her son, Robin Arryn. Lysa kept Robin constantly by her side and constantly breastfed Robin even though he was well past the appropriate age for breast feeding (Martin, 1996). In particular, Lysa’s need to ensure physical proximity with Robin was highlighted during Tyrion Lannister’s trial in the Vale,
Jealousy between siblings materializes because one of them feels overshadowed by the other. For girls, this results in a lack of confidence.

Jealousy is a powerful emotion that most people experience at some point in their life. However, not everyone is affected in the same way. Some people are filled with insecurity. While others are filled with fear. Most people experience anger. In William Shakespeare’s Othello the audience learns through the characterization of Othello and Iago, the symbolism of the handkerchief, and through Othello denying that he is jealous we learn that jealousy can make people behave irrationally in certain circumstances.
They also show high levels of stress during separation and remain distressed even after the reunion. Although these are the two main insecure attachment categories, current research suggests that there are countless forms of insecure attachment patterns besides the ones Ainsworth highlighted in her research (Barnett & Vondra, 1999).
After a careful overview of the story, the readers understands that the author point is that in some situations, people should do the nice thing and sacrifice themselves to help others. In the story, “What Happened During the Ice storm” the author uses a mysterious, bittersweet tone, “They stood over the pheasants, turning their own heads, looking at each other each expecting the other to do something” (Heynen 1). The author uses this line to show that any other person would not even stop to think; that any other person would immediately attack. However, putting these lines in the story makes the reader notice how the boys took the time to stop and think
Jealousy in Characters Authors of stories can manipulate the emotions of their characters to express meaning. Jealousy is one that is often used to bring out the negative aspects in the characters or in life in general. Jealousy is a powerful emotion to use and implement because it is something the reader can connect to. If an author is able to connect to a reader in that way it makes the message of his story all the more powerful. John Knowles, the author of A Separate Peace, a popular book with deep meaning, demonstrates that talent when he illustrates jealousy and its dire effects in his character, Gene Forrester.
Jealousy, it is one of the most complex human emotions. Everyone experiences jealousy, but each person reacts upon it differently. In A Separate Peace by John Knowles, Gene is envious toward his lifelong friend Finny. The article “Jealousy: Love’s Destroyer” by Hara Marano, jealousy is perceived as a survival instrument. The video “Ode to Envy” by Parul Sehgal, jealousy can be seen as natural. All three sources identify how each person acts differently in a situation that revolves around envy.

The insecure/preoccupied anxious attachment style preoccupied, and they seek approval from their partners. They tend to extremely clingy; consequently, pushing the person away with their self-doubts and insecurities. Individuals who have fearful/avoidant attachment style tend to have suffered abuse or sexual abuse, and they want close relationships, nonetheless they cannot bring themselves to be intimate with other people.
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
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.
I was beginning to prepare for the next residency and I realized that I was not looking forward to hearing presentations from liberal and leftist progressive ideologues who seem unable to keep their opinions to themselves and just teach writing. Then I began watching Cold Mountain, the next PBIC and movie and once again, it's all about depraved ignorant southerners, a coward that runs from war, and slavery. I'm not sure why the faculty keeps returning to slavery and oppression in required books and movies again and again, but it's truly become repulsive for me. There's plenty of other optimistic works that could serve this purpose for learning.
Homework #11 1. Compared to Flashes of War, The Ice Storm by Rick Moody is completely different from Katey Schultz’s book. Not only be genre, but also by writing styles. Reading through the first chapter I was a bit shocked with Moody’s explicitness. The book is very sexual and carries an uncomfortable vibe.
The Novel I have chosen to analyze for this essay is titled The Winter king, by Bernard Cornwell. The story is a version of the classic King Arthur legend adapted to more accurately fit the time period it was originally set in. In this version there aren’t any noble Christian knights searching far and wide for the Holy Grail, or any uniformed peaceful and perfect kingdom of Britain. Instead there are petty kings warlords and the warriors fighting for power and their survival. The Saxons pour into Britain and push west into the lands held by the native Brythonic tribes, driven by a desire for land and gold. Christianity is growing and is supplanting the ancient pagan shrines with churches, while the druids struggle to keep their religion alive
But jealousy, and especially sexual jealousy, brings with it a sense of shame and humiliation. For this reason it is generally hidden; if we perceive it we ourselves are ashamed and turn our eyes away; and when it is not hidden it commonly stirs contempt as well as pity. Nor is this all. Such jealousy as Othello’s
It was like I was dying inside. I couldn't look at him without melting. I couldn't think of him without feeling an immense amount of love. It hurt so much knowing that he didn't feel the same way for me as I do him! And though it saddened me, it also made me feel alive. Like the world would end but it was a new beginning... It's really hard to explain, but I'll give it my best shot.
