Enemy and Not Jealousy

Melanie Klein: "I don't want their wound. I just want them to really suffer it, not to get away with having their suffering alleviated" 'Jealousy wants the object and wants to enjoy enjoyment,' she says in an exclusive interview for The New York Review of Books. It's a kind of enjoyment squared - you enjoy destroying the others' enjoyment. A good person doesn't enjoy the destruction of the other people's enjoyment. But that's what's at work as well in that structure of envy,. which is that you see someone being validated by authority... In a way that you cannot be.
