1 This hatred towards an object of love joined with envy 2 is called Jealousy, which accordingly is nothing else but a 3 wavering of the disposition arising from combined love and 4 hatred, accompanied by the idea of some rival who is envied. 5 Further, this hatred towards the object of love will be greater, 6 in proportion to the pleasure which the jealous man had been wont 7 to derive from the reciprocated love of the said object; and 8 also in proportion to the feelings he had previously entertained 9 towards his rival. If he had hated him, he will forthwith hate 10 the object of his love, because he conceives it is pleasurably 11 affected by one whom he himself hates: and also because he is 12 compelled to associate the image of his loved one with the image 13 of him whom he hates. This condition generally comes into play 14 in the case of love for a woman: for he who thinks, that a woman 15 whom he loves prostitutes herself to another, will feel pain, not 16 only because his own desire is restrained, but also because, 17 being compelled to associate the image of her he loves with the 18 parts of shame and the excreta of another, he therefore shrinks 19 from her. 20 21 We must add, that a jealous man is not greeted by his beloved 22 with the same joyful countenance as before, and this also gives 23 him pain as a lover, as I will now show. 24 25
