Jealousy





Jealousy is a mental uneasiness from suspicion or fear of rivalry. In The Great Gatsby the parties that Myrtle and Tom had showed the jealousy between the lower and upper class. The poeple that attended their parties were of lower class trying to act of upper class. Within the different social circles of The Great Gatsby, you can see hints of jealousy through the way that most of the people within the groups talk about the others. Jealousy happens in real life too though, for example the picture of the three little kids above. One girl is jealous of the other bcause she has the boys attention and that one doesn't. Though when I see this happen it's normally with teenage girls. Jealousy has always been apart of society and always will be, it's just the way we are.
