Quote Significance Ch. 5

Quote: "I tried, you remember? I reached out but you were gone, you went down through those little branches underneath, and when I reached out there was only air."(65)
Significance: Liar! Gene is so jealous of Finny. This quote makes Gene look ridiculous. He's lying to his "best friends" face if he was really his best friend then why would he lie to his face. Finny can't even play sports anymore because of Gene and he is sitting there lying to him. This really shows that jealous can take over a person's actions because he really let his bestfriend fall out of a tree from a high branch that's the stupidest thing anyone could ever do. Gene needs to stop trying to be someone else and working on being himself.
Question: Why does jealousy take over a person so much to the point where they seriously hurt someone?
