Under the influence of the idol.
==Real World Background== spoke The green-eyed monster is William Shakespeare's metaphor for jealousy which first appeared in Othello spoken to Othello by Iago:
- O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
- It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
- The meat it feeds on; that cuckold lives in bliss
- Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger;
- But, O, what damned minutes tells he o'er
- Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves!
The monologue personifies jealousy as a predatory beast that will make those afflicted by it behave irrationally in its service.
