The Blue Stones, Analysis Have you ever been jealous or greedy? The author Isak Dinesen from allegory, “The Blue Stones” uses symbolism to help illustrate jealousy. The first conflict is not important but needs to be said. The least important conflict is the wife jealousy to her husband's ship.

    Can Jealousy result from one’s own unhappiness? In F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, readers are immersed into a complex novel narrated in first person by Nick Carraway. Nick lives in West Egg, next to a luxurious mansion inhabited by a mysterious man named Jay Gatsby. Nick is fascinated by Gatsby, and is overjoyed when he is invited to one of his extravagant parties. Over time, Gatsby and Nick get to know each other and Gatsby feels comfortable enough to ask a favor of Nick. Gatsby met Nick’s cousin, Daisy, during the war and has been passionately in love with her ever since. Gatsby inquires about an arrangement for a reunion with Daisy, and Nick accepts to serve as the host.

  • Jealousy

    835 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of the studies I found talked about how men and women differ in confronting their significant other about extra-partner affairs. The author of this study, Barry X. Khule, had trained undergraduate students watch and code fifty-one episodes of the reality television show Cheaters (Khule, 2011). Individuals who believed they were being cheated on called the show and asked that the Cheater’s Detective Agency (CDA) follow their significant other around for weeks. Then, the CDA provided the victim with video surveillance footage to show whether or not their significant other had actually been cheating on them. The show then gave the victim a chance to confront the cheating mate. The confrontation was also videotaped as part of the show (Khule, 2011). The undergraduate students (coders) were specially trained to listen for key phrases as spoken by the victim (the individual in the show who was being cheated on) that signaled jealousy. Khule hypothesized, based on previous research that men who were being cheated on would be more concerned about the physical aspect of the cheating and would ask questions such as, “How many times have you had sex with him?” Women, he hypothesized, would be more concerned about the emotional aspect of the cheating and would ask questions such as, “Do you love her?” (Khule, 2011).
