Green eyed monster
Meaning
Jealousy Green is a colour associated with sickness, possibly because people's skin takes on a slightly greenish tinge when the colour is drained from it. Green is also the colour of many unripe foods with cause stomach pains. Used by, and possibly coined by, Shakespeare to denote jealousy. In The Merchant of Venice.
Portia: ' How all the other passions fleet to air, As doubtful thoughts, and rash-embraced despair, And shuddering fear, and green-eyed jealousy! O love, Be moderate; allay thy ecstasy, In measure rein thy joy; scant this excess. I feel too much thy blessing: make it less, For fear I surfeit.'
Shakespeare also alludes to cats as green-eyed monsters in the way that they play with mice before killing them.
Iago: 'O, beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on; that cuckold lives in bliss Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger; But, O, what damned minutes tells he o'er Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, ye

Monster
An animal which has a conformation contrary to the order of nature.
A monster, although born of a woman in lawful wedlock, cannot inherit. Those who have however the essential parts of the human form and have merely some defect of coformation, are capable of inheriting, if otherwise qualified.
No living human birth, however much it may differ from human shape, can be lawfully destroyed.
