Gary Allen once said, “you can be the moon and still be jealous of the stars” (brainyquotes.com). Jealousy nothing more than love and hate at the same time has ridden the world of relationships since the beginning of time. In the Bible Josephs brother were jealous of him, sold him into slavery, and which allowed him to become a king and metaphorically gave him the last laugh. Sometimes jealousy occurs in the hearts of people because they seem inferior or when someone superior feels threatened by another superior. People love the see others doing good, just not better than them. This same idea can be found in Bernice bobs her hair. Fitzgerald use of manipulation and hair as a form of imagery effectively reveals the story’s theme of jealousy.
