Abstract
This paper examines how jealousy is an ever-present phenomenon that can have negative consequences on romantic relationships. It looks at how jealousy is more prevalent in relationships where one or both parties have low self-esteem. It analyzes how this feeling of inadequacy leads to other negative feelings as well, including loneliness, powerlessness, and relational uncertainty among others. The relationship between self-esteem and jealousy is examined, noting other significant variables that have an influence on both self-esteem and jealousy, as well as the manner in which jealousy is handled.

From the Paper
"People with low self esteem are often the ones likely to experience the greatest amount of jealousy and to mistrust their partner. This incessant jealousy leads the party with low self esteem to grow increasingly dissatisfied with the relationship. Rotenberg, Shewchuk, and Kimberly (2001) took the information that lonely individuals have low self esteem and are generally dissatisfied with romantic relationships. They went on to determine whether this loneliness and powerlessness may be connected to jealous behavior and expression. They found the correlation to be positive; jealousy is related to loneliness and powerlessness which in turn might possibly affect one's self esteem."

Jealousy as an adverse emotion is a term which commonly refers to inner psychological and outer sociological conflict pertaining to an object that one covets or desires. This paper explains that jealously usually refers to a dynamic that occurs in relationships between people but it can also be understood in a broader sense as the jealousy or envy of the status or possessions of others.

Advertising, Envy and Jealousy
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Jealousy and envy of others is often used in the advertising and marketing world to promote product sales. The image and stereotypes of ideal and desired objects and people are purposely manipulated to initiate a feeling of both envy and jealousy to motivate the viewer or audience to purchase the product. The well-known sociologist John Berger describes advertising in terms of envy. He states that advertising works by"... proposing to each of us that we transform ourselves, or our lives, by buying something more.... [Advertising] persuades us of such a transformation by showing us people who have apparently been transformed and are, as a result, enviable. The state of being envied is what constitutes glamour."

Abstract
This paper begins by defining jealousy as a negative, complex human emotion that represents a provoked response to problems posed by real and/or perceived threats to an exclusive dyadic relationship. It is most commonly associated with long-term romantic relationships and sexual relationships. The paper then looks at the different experiences of men and women in dealing with jealousy within relationships and with other people. The paper references two theories, known as evolutionary-psychological and socio-cultural in studying and understanding this phenomenom.
From the Paper
"The psychology of gender has evolved and has been modified dramatically over the past decade from descriptive cataloguing of gender-related differences and similarities to specific areas of inquiry within organized theoretical or methodological framework. Much of the history of behavioural sciences has involved the attempt to come to grips with a dilemma of gender-determined reaction to sexual and emotional infidelity."

A discussion of jealousy as an emotion as well as a concept.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of jealousy. Specifically, it provides an extended definition of the abstract concept of jealousy.
From the Paper
"What is jealousy? Dictionary.com defines jealousy as "A jealous attitude or disposition or close vigilance." However, this succinct definition does not tell the whole story. Jealousy is much more than an attitude or disposition. For some, it is a way of life, and for others, it can consume their life, changing it forever. Take the case of California socialite Betty Broderick, who found her husband with his secretary/lover and killed them both in a jealous rage (Cupach and Spitzberg 33). Jealousy can be a dangerous emotion, but why is jealousy so emotionally charged? Usually, jealousy is a negative or passionate reaction to a situation, and that is what can make it so dangerous."

Abstract
It has been argued by some theorists that men have evolved to be more jealous then women because jealousy promotes the male's genetic fitness. This paper first examines jealousy as a whole and its causes. Then, it examines research on the concept that men are more jealous than women and shows that, while there is evidence for this theory, there is also substantial evidence that women and men are equally jealous.
From the Paper
"Since women rely on the male to impregnate them, and since they can choose their partners, they are able to control who supplies the genetic material for their offspring. Males, however, rely on the female to reproduce. Thus, while they can have sexual relations with the female, they cannot assure that the female is not having sexual relations with another. This means that men are less able to control the passing on of genetic materials (Buss, 1996)."

Jealousy in "Othello", 2005.

Abstract
This paper briefly compares the jealous nature of Othello and Iago. Using examples from the play, the writer questions whether Iago was more jealous that Othello and whether their jealous natures impacted each other's incorrect decisions throughout.
From the Paper
"Othello is often described as a tragic character because he is a great leader and military hero who is brought low by one, fatal personal flaw that he is otherwise unaware of-namely his jealousy. But really it seems as if Iago is the more jealous of the two men, jealous of the Moor's advancement in Venetian society, and of the promotion of Michael Cassio. One of the first things Iago says in the play, in Act 1, Scene 1 to Rodrigo is "Why, there's no remedy; 'tis the curse of service, /Preferment goes by letter and affection, /And not by old gradation, where each second/Stood heir to the first." (1.1) In other words, rather than merit and age, people who are pretty and preferred like Cassio get promoted-a statement that seethes with jealousy. In contrast to Iago, Othello in fact seems to possess a free and open nature, and seldom jealously begrudges anyone of anything they are truly, fully owed. He leaps into service for the state immediately upon his wedding night when the city is threatened militarily. Instead, Othello's true tragic flaw is his sense of being an outsider."

From the Paper
"This study will investigate jealousy, defining it, noting its emotional components, its causes and effects, and treatment modalities.
In a "Dear Abby" column by Abigail Van Buren, a woman wrote in saying that the man she recently married "was always jealous, but I thought he would change (after marriage). I was wrong. Although I've never given him any reason to doubt me, he checks up on my every move (Van Buren E3).
Abby suggests professional help for the man, making it clear that as much as most people appreciate "a little jealousy" on the parts of their mates to indicate "that they care," it is obvious that a little of this powerful emotion goes a long way and in its most severe form certainly does call for professional intervention."

Abstract
This paper examines the different reactions shown by men and women as they experience emotional and sexual jealousy. The paper begins with a discussion of gender differences in general as well as defining what jealousy actually is. The paper concludes that while gender does have some effect on the person's jealous reaction, social and cultural differences have a larger influence on sexual jealousy.
From the Paper

Abstract
This paper discusses how sexual jealousy drives the plots of "Othello" and "The Winter's Tale". It shows how one play is a tragedy, the other a romance, or tragic-comedy, and how different genres imply different audience expectations. The paper explains how Shakespeare modifies the two jealousy plots to produce the effects aimed at in the two different kinds of plays.
From the Paper
"Sexual jealousy prevails in the romantic and yet sometimes tragic "The Winter's Tale" from beginning to end. Leontes believes his wife, Hermione has been unfaithful to him, and has her jailed. While in jail, she has a child, who he disowns and abandons in the wilderness. However, Leontes soon learns that his jealousy is not only misplaced, it is extremely costly to his family. His only son dies from grief at his mother's imprisonment, and soon Hermione is also reported dead. Leontes is so distraught, he secludes himself for sixteen years before he discovers his lost child and that Hermione is still alive. The romance ends happily, with everything right in the world again. "

Iago's Jealousy, 2008.
This paper analyzes how Iago causes Othello's moral degradation in William Shakespeare's "Othello".
1,663 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 58.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this analysis of Shakespeare's "Othello, the author discusses how Othello, Iago and Desdemona are victimized by the envy and jealousy of Iago's trickery. The author further emphasizes how Othello's lack of moral objectivity is often the subject of Iago's cunning. The paper then shows how this loss of moral objectivity ultimately acts as the foundation for Iago's success over Othello.
From the Paper
"In these lines, Iago's envious understanding of Othello's jealousy is a successful modus operandi for his diabolical scheme to sabotage Othello's career. When Iago successfully dissolves Othello's trust in Cassio, one can see a glimpse of his anger, which would commit murder against his wife in a jealous rage. In this manner, the racial superiority that Iago feels toward his Moorish superior helps to begin the cataclysm of jealousy that cascades through Iago and then into the marriage of Othello and Desdemona."

'Othello' by William Shakespeare, 2006.
A review of the jealousy, submissive female gender roles and race in 'Othello' by William Shakespeare.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This study examines the role of jealousy, submissive female gender roles, and racism within Othello by William Shakespeare. In many ways, Desdemona pays a submissive role to Othello, as she cannot rise above her fears and confront her husband on the grave error of his theories about her infidelity. Furthermore, the issue of race helps Iago deploy his plan, as both he and Desdemona's father are racist in their jealousy of Othello's success. In this manner, jealousy, submissive female gender roles, and racism are constructed to bring a tragic ending to the once hopeful marriage of Othello and Desdemona. The issue of jealousy begins with Iago's anger at Cassio getting a promotion in Othello's elite guard.

William Shakespeare's "Othello", 2006.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that "Othello", like Shakespeare's other "big" plays, abounds in spectacular examples of theatrical effect, such as the brawls and the big pageantry;however, the theatrical effect of the rest of the play represents communication by gesture and look, the eloquent silences and whispered, spoken and shouted language. The author points out that jealousy in Shakespeare's "Othello" is a mask for the fear of death because what the jealous lover fears is that there will not be time or space enough for him. The paper relates that one of the peculiar splendors of "Othello" is that Othello's belated jealousy cannot be understood without first understanding Iago's primal envy of Othello, which is at the hidden center of the drama.
From the Paper
"Shakespeare's Iago appears in two aspects: his external appearance, as he reacts with others and his inner life as revealed by the soliloquies. Forget the soliloquies for a moment, and examine the face that Iago turns to the world. Here is a clever, ambitious man coolly manipulating others for his own ends. The current theories of will and reason he voices belong to his character both "psychologically" and dramatically. He denies the reality of loving feelings, they are only a lust of the blood, a permission of the will; he asserts the supremacy of the will and intelligence, ..."

Abstract
This paper deals with the themes of jealousy and revenge within the drama "Othello", written by William Shakespeare. With numerous themes depicted throughout the play, that of jealousy and revenge stands out, as they are the basis of the plot and character development. Includes a number of internal documentations (quotes).
From the Paper
"Othello is a romantic tragedy set in Venice during the early eighteenth century. This play portrays the author's ability to intertwine many deceiving motives of its characters, into one cohesive and interesting plot. Othello, written by William Shakespeare, is a play that possesses many different aspects of literature, ranging from descriptive imagery to deep symbolism. Of all of Othello's characteristics, though, the most significant is that of its numerous themes. Othello is strewn with a number of important themes, including love, hate, racial tensions, deception, and false appearances. Nevertheless, as considerable as these themes may be towards the overall plot, the two most influential in Othello, are those of jealousy and revenge found within the two main characters of Othello and Iago. The themes of jealousy and revenge are difficult to discuss apart from one another, as jealousy causes revenge, and jealousy is the force that motivates the actions of the main characters."

Abstract
"Othello" by William Shakespeare is a unique tragedy in that it focuses on the destruction of love through sexual jealousy. The paper describes how Othello is plagued with his ego and pride, which contributes to his demise. Othello is, however, a truly romantic character because he is very passionate and full of deep feelings. The paper examines what brought the sweet Desdemona to be his wife.
From the Paper
"However, Iago is sure to be the devil's advocate if occasion shall arise. Desdemona just happens to be there to give him the leverage he needs. She plays right into his hands by defending Cassio. Again she works as a tool to Othello's demise by losing the handkerchief. Emilia here also loads the gun of deception by handing her mistress's handkerchief to her husband. Desdemona is apparently unaware that she is destroying her husband by being herself. Her actions coupled with Iago's twisted desire for power bring Othello to his knees."
