Detailed explanation-1: -Jealousy: “Carl has really been bitten by the green-eyed monster; he gets jealous if his wife so much as talks to another man.” This metaphor was coined by William Shakespeare in his play Othello.
Detailed explanation-2: -The idiom green-eyed monster was coined by William Shakespeare in his play, Othello, in 1604: “O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on…” Note that the word green-eyed is an adjective used before a verb, and therefore, is hyphenated.
Detailed explanation-3: -“O beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.” Shakespeare had previously used the idea in The Merchant of Venice where Portia refers to “green-eyed jealousy” (Act 3, Scene 2).
Detailed explanation-4: -’O, beware my lord of jealousy./It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock/The meat it feeds on. ‘ Iago begins to turn Othello against the ‘worthy’ Cassio and Desdemona.
