Bronte presents to us that Jane has not yet realized her self-worth. Contextually the society of 1848 would have viewed the marriage of two individuals of different classes negatively, so Jane's jealousy is emphasized by society's expectation that Mr. Rochester marry Miss Ingram. This jealousy manifests itself through a comparison by Jane between herself and Miss Ingram in which she focuses on aesthetics. Bronte highlights this aesthetic jealousy through her portraits of Jane, where Jane overemphasizes the material differences between the two women. Under her portrait, Jane writes "Portrait of a governess, rambling, poor and simple" and under Miss Ingram's portrait she writes "Blanche, an accomplished lady of rank." This shows that Jane has not yet learned the value of her own spiritual and intellectual superiority. Jane describes herself: "I am poor, dark, simple and small" displaying clear self-deprecation as a direct result of her jealousy. Sexton also presents jealousy as a shell of self-deprecation in the individual. "For My Lover, Returning to His Wife" presents the lover's jealousy towards his lover's wife. Jealousy itself can be seen in the possessive nature of the title, through Sexton's use of "mine" and "his" which are possessive pronouns. This jealousy leads her to blame herself, Sexton presents this through a semantic field of self-deprecation.

Likewise, due to the sexual liberation of the time, they may not be surprised by the lover's voice shown in the poem. However, even in these texts jealousy is presented as a cause of anger. In “For My Lover, Returning to His Wife” the speaker seems controlled, but occasionally explodes, “bitch” is used by Sexton to show his anger that escapes from the stable and controlled structure of the poem. Furthermore, Sexton wrote it in free verse which allows the rambling thoughts that are comorbid with jealousy to be presented through the voice of the lover. In this way anger is presented as caused by jealousy. Furthermore, in Jane Eyre, jealousy also manifests itself in anger and anger.
