Othello; Jealousy


I think this picture describes jealousy because the baby is jealous of his little sister because she is getting more attention than he is. This happens a lot in real life. When kids have to deal with a new baby sister or baby brother, they either like them or they're jealous of them.
This picture descirbes jealousy because the girl is jealousy of a couple that she sees. This could often be because she doesn't have a boyfriend or something could have happened in her last relationship to where she doesn't like seeing happy couples.

This girl is just staring at this other couple, this could be because she likes him too or she doesn't have a boyfriend or something.

this little girl is jealous because she sees these two kissing proibably doesn't even know what they're doing but she doesn't like it.

this girl could be jealous because this other girl could have somebody she likes, or have things that she wants but can't get.
