A combination of this “threatened masculinity” and the also mentioned “anxiety of dispossession” is what causes, in my opinion, jealousy among the male characters. Heathcliff’s first sign of jealousy manifested when he feared losing Catherine to Edgar and he realized that he did not have any power over her. Also, Graham is jealous of Alfred because Ginevra prefers de Hamal instead of him. This shows how the fear of losing something that was considered owned causes jealousy, anger and deep emotions.
Whether or not love influences this jealousy is not clear; for example, Monsieur Paul falls in love with Lucy, and Heathcliff truly loves Catherine and his love makes him do abhorrent acts, but Dr. John is not in love with Ginevra because he forgets
