On the whole, envy changes people in ways they never thought would exist. Even though all envious entities start off ordinary people they can be corrupted and taken hostage by this emotion. Envy is an ever growing vine that keeps getting bigger and stronger as it feeds on your terrible thoughts and actions. Envy changed men like Jack and Minh Nguyen as both of them took it to the extreme by committing terrible acts of violence. Jack tried to murder Ralph because he had power in the beginning of the story and Jack’s envy of Ralph had grown ever so greatly. Minh Nguyen murdered his ex-wife’s new husband, Corey Mattison, in front of his children for one simple issue. Envy turns us into monsters. It is an incurable disease that cannot be controlled.
