"Jealousy is never satisfied
with anything short of an omniscience that would detect the subtlest fold
of the heart."
-- George Eliot
1. Make a list of vivid
details that would evoke jealousy. Then, write ten unusual ones. Can you
use details from your list to write a few paragraphs from the perspective
of a jealous character? Try.
2. Write a one to two
page scene in which a character is imagining the ex-lover of her husband/his
wife.
3. Write a list of emotions
that feel like jealousy and/or emotions that jealousy includes. Then choose
one of them and write a paragraph describing jealousy through that emotion.
Take risks. Choose an emotion rarely associated with jealousy.
