Abstract
MIGLIAVACCA, Eva Maria. Jealousy, the injured love's hell: Bruno, Othello, Dmitry. J. psicanal. [online]. 2020, vol.53, n.99, pp.219-233. ISSN 0103-5835.
In this work I focus on a component of love, the feeling of jealousy, which the individual experiences very early in life when coming in contact with the external world. For this, I make use of analysis sessions with an 8-year-old boy and discuss aspects of the characters Othello in Shakespeare's play and Dmitry from Dostoyevsky's The brothers Karamazov. The clinical material, together with the examples extracted from the literature, is presented in order to illustrate and reflect on some nuances of this disturbing feeling. To conclude, I establish a brief association with the Oedipus' complex.
