Research for this evolutionary explanation for aggression comes from Daly and Wilson who reported that men who had just been left, or believe that they are about to be left, commit a high proportion of murders of their partners, possibly due to the jealousy of potentially losing them to another male. This supports Buss’ argument that men are more distressed about sexual infidelity and that it evokes aggression related to sexual jealousy. Furthermore, Buss and Dedden criticize the
He is ultimately laughed at by Elizabeth who could not take his words seriously, for they contradicted his actions. His use of language in his “confession of love” produced a great amount of dramatic irony. At the beginning of the passage, we learned that Collins attempted to court a lady he has only known for three days with deliberate intentions. He began his proposal by exaggerating his gratitude that he has the honor of courting her with her mother’s permission. He flattered her by praising her appearance, manner, and personality while he fibs.
It shows dramatic irony because not only do Maria, Sir Toby and Sir Andrew know about these letters and so does the audience, which adds to the comedy, readers crave the concept of knowing something that another character does not know because it make them feel powerful. Now that Malvolio has read the letters and is convinced that Olivia is in love with him, Maria gathers Sir Toby and Sir Andrew for a good chuckle “Most villainously, like a pedant that keeps a school i’ the church. I have dogged him like him, like his murderer. He does obey every point of the letter that I dropped to betray him. He does smile his face into more lines than is in the new map with the augmentation of the Indies.
It showed his shallowness because I thought he had looked over speeches of ‘love for him’ that was embellished by his older daughters so much’ Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter…’ that he had no sense to realize how fake they were in comparison to Cordelia’s honesty ‘I am sure my love’s more richer than my tongue’. Lear’s angry response to Cordelia’s simple speech shows his desire and stubbornness for others to flatter him ‘Mend your speech a little’ ‘Nothing can come of nothing’. I think the mistakes Lear makes and his anger towards Kent from page 2 onwards shows his extreme pride as
Within a week or two of each other both Beth and Rose were left brokenhearted, Rose’s boyfriend Oliver dumped her after hearing that she had slept with his best friend Kevin, her former boyfriend, and Glenn left Beth, saying that he was moving away and it would be too painful if they remained together. Not true. He then proceeded to woo and date one of Beth’s friends Nicole. Beth was devastated; most of our lunch’s thereafter were devoted to distracting her from the new couple. We even moved her to Kevin’s table, of which he was supreme ruler, because we knew that she’d ogled him a few times and liked what she saw.
He hasn't eaten since breakfast and late at night while he waits for Corley to return with money, he orders a meal of peas and vinegar with a bottle of ginger beer for his dinner. He simply doesn't have the money for a proper meal. And, his future looks dismal: it will only get worse. By showing this detail, readers are not as quick to judge Joyce's character, and while we certainly can't like this leech, we can perhaps understand and view him in a sympathetic light. In "Clay," the older unmarried character Maria lives a life of diligent sacrifice for a pittance.
Jealousy is an emotion and it basically refers to the negative thoughts of fear over a loss of something that the person values such as relationship or love. Jealousy can break your friendships and marriages due to several problems and it can cause a lot of pain. In Jealousy you get out of control and do whatever your mind says to do even it’s right or not. It can last as long as you want to be. Jealousy in Othello results in the tragic ending like in the beginning of the play, Iago was jealoused of Cassio because he wanted to get Cassio’s position as a lieutenant, Rogerigo was jealoused of Othello because Desdemona loves Othello and not him and Othello was jealoused of Cassio because he thought that Cassio loves Desdemona more than him.
When the protagonist, Sanyo Lee wakes up, he sees his aunt in front of him. His aunt blames him for doing nothing every day, so she tells Sanyo get off the bed and go out to reception guests. There are three people of the Miao nationalities in the inn, they charter the entire inn. Sanyo Lee thinks them maybe the brothers, and he goes to the downstairs, and his aunt tells Sanyo drive away the drunkard who lies near the door, and goes to the kitchen to bring the food and drink to the guests. The drunkard says to Sanyo Lee: “please just give a little, is that ok, I am so thirsty!” Sanyo Lee does not know what to say to the poor man.
One partner may feel secretly flattered when the other is mildly jealous. And catching someone flirting with your beloved can spark the kind of lust and romance that reignites a relationship. Jealousy is just a sick feeling of insecurity of losing the one you care for to another. Seems to play games nonstop in your head and
For instance, during the “Week of Peace” Okonkwo came home to find that his second wife had not returned from her friend’s house in time to cook dinner. “When she returned he beat her very heavily. In his anger he had forgotten that it was the Week of Peace” (Achebe29). Beating your wife during the Week of Peace was a huge sin to the clan. Okonkwo let his anger get the best of him and violated the code of the Ibo people.
