Jealousy (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a ruse of comparison, a stratagem of femininity, an arresting of nature by woman.

Jealousy (n.) handled ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠brutally brings on the very evil it fears: a husband who bullies a tender, vindictive wife invites her infidelity.

Jealousy (n.) can ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠attach to a love that is only brotherly: he loved Miss Vulson with a brother's affection and a lover's jealousy.

Jealousy (n.) can ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠prefer erasure to company: Rameau had his own name struck from the program rather than see it printed beside Rousseau's.

Jealousy (n.) can ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠turn into affection: learning she was more intimate with Claude Anet than with him, he found his love for her extended to his rival.

Jealousy (n.) in ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠man comes from society's passions more than instinct: in most irregular affairs the lover's hatred of his rivals far exceeds his love for his mistress — vanity, not affection.

Jealousy (n.) was ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠answered with tranquility: told he would die of her infidelity, she said people do not die of such slight causes and his happiness need lose nothing.

Jealousy (n.) arrived ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠with love: from seeing each other often, men could not do without seeing each other constantly, the least opposition turned tenderness into fury, and human blood was sacrificed to the gentlest of passions.
