Jealousy!!!

Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There is only one alternative - self-value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. You will always think it's a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within. Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences. Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security. Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them. ~Jennifer James

In The Great Gatsby there are many times that jealousy gets the best of someone. A good example of jealousy in this novel is between Tom and Daisy. The love each other, but sometimes they let jealousy come between them. For example, when Daisy repeatedly says the name of a woman whom she believes Tom loves out loud, Tom punches her in the nose. This happened to daisy because she was jealous and believed Tom loved someone else.
