Unfortunately something turned Ilana’s head round about the Trumps. She seems awfully jealous of Ivanka and her prince, Jared but Ilana should know that blood is thicker than water when it comes to supporting and encouraging the immediate family.
Re-quoting Shakespeare, O, beware, my lady, of jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
the meat it feeds on; that cuckold lives in bliss
who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger;
But, O, what damned minutes tells he o’er
Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves!….
The phrase ‘green-eyed jealousy’ was used by, and possibly coined by, Shakespeare to denote jealousy, in The Merchant of Venice, 1596:
Portia:
How all the other passions fleet to air,
As doubtful thoughts, and rash-embraced despair,
And shuddering fear, and green-eyed jealousy! O love,
Be moderate; allay thy ecstasy,
In measure rein thy joy; scant this excess.
I feel too much thy blessing: make it less,
For fear I surfeit.”
Mercer is jealous too of Heather Nauert the incoming U.N. Ambassador.
