Jealousy is an emotion caused either by a person wanting what somebody else has or by a person perceiving the lack of attention given by a loved one when it is given to someone else. It is one of those emotions that the Smurfs have to deal with in their everyday living, particularly when it comes to being around Smurfette. Envy, which is what jealousy can lead to, is one of the seven deadly sins.
