HomeJealousy in Othello by Shakespeare?
In the play Othello, many of the characters fall victim to jealousy, causing them to do things they wouldn't normally do.
Iago, Emilia, Bianca, Roderigo and Othello all display jealousy throughout the play, though each finds resolution in a different way.
Iago displays jealousy from the very beginning of the play.
His jealousy quickly spawns thoughts of revenge, and he soon develops a plan to achieve revenge on those he feels have wronged him. From the start of the play, Iago expresses his jealousy of both Cassio and Othello.
He is jealous of Cassio for securing the job of lieutenant Iago feels he deserved, and jealous of Othello not only from the promotion of Cassio, but also from his belief that Othello has slept with Emilia. Iago expresses "It is thought abroad that 'twixt my sheets / He has done my office" This insecurity and jealousy he feels leads him to commit acts of revenge. As he becomes fixed on the idea of revenge, Iago speaks in a soliloquy he will not be satisfied "Till I am evend with him, wife for wife, /Or failing so, yet that I put the Moor / At least into a jealousy so strong / That judgment cannot cure"

There are no examples of jealousy in Romeo and Juliet. You need to read Othello instead.
Shakespeare didn't choose Othello to be black. That was part of a story by an Italian called Cinthio where Shakespeare got the idea for the play. Cinthio's story was in fact focussed on this aspect of Othello's relationship with Desdemona (as indeed many modern productions of Shakespeare's play do) and explicitly had Desdemona state the trite and racist moral that white women shouldn't get involved with black men. Shakespeare, of course, in adapting the story, goes much deeper into the psychology of jealousy and the problems of any kind of mixed marriage by having Othello and Desdemona be of different ages and social classes as well as races. Cinthio's Moor is not a very nice man, but Shakespeare paints Othello in a very sympathetic light, so we feel his pain as his jealousy and his genuine love battle it out in him.

You are I am sure thinking of Othello, who was driven insane with jealousy by a guy he thought was his friend, but who was really trying to destroy him. As a result Othello killed his wife. A couple of other guys in different Shakespeare plays tried to kill their wives out of jealousy, but failed (The plays are The Winter's Tale and Cymbeline). And there is another play where a guy was driven insanely jealous of his wife and who publicly (at their wedding no less) accused her of sleeping around and walked out. It was later reported to him that she had died of grief (This play is called Much Ado About Nothing).
