Envy:
>I wish she was my girlfriend
Jealousy:
>My girlfriend is spending a bit too much time with her new literature professor.

tl;dr: envy is what you want, jealousy is fear of losing something/someone to someone else.

>> No.6067735

>>6067721
Envy is wanting something that another person has.
Jealousy is wanting to keep what you have from another person.

Bram Stoker's Dracula is literally Victorian Twilight, though. Full of masochism and Mary Sue characters who keep reinforcing each other in their piety and virtuous natures.

"A haggarding girl-child possessed by the limits of her form, obsessing, clinging to that which will most hold her leaking from her at that moment, yet still vanishing from her baseless substance in agony by the minute, naturally understands love as a product of that which mediates the acuteness of her sense of demise, most often by jealousy.."
