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).
