Abstract: The main goal of this work is to produce an attentive reading that demonstrates the importance of jealousy shaping the narrative web in Italo Svevo's novels: Una vita (1892), Senilità (1898) e La coscienza di Zeno (1923).Following the chronological order of each piece, the intent is to unveil the amorous relationships by uncovering the manner jealousy is presented in characters' histories.The diverse theories lecturing on jealousy -though may diverge in some aspects-end up converging in one: the triple aspect of the feeling, the triangle for its geometrical shape that very well represents it.However, jealousy will be taken in this study, most of all, enlightened by the french philosopher theory of René Girard.Furthermore, this thesis also deals with two important matters of Svevo's work, intrinsically linked to jealousy: the Triestian enviroment, where main characters' storyline and inaptitude flourish.
