Envy

"Edgar is sulky, because I'm glad of a thing that does not interest him. He affirmed that I was cruel and selfish for wishing to talk when he was so sick and sleepy. He always contrives to be sick at the least cross! I gave a few commendation to Healthcliff, and he, either for a head-ache or a pang of envy, began to cry. It is human nature. But does it not show great weakness?" Catherine Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights
