By Jealousy
In the tragedy of Othello Shakespeare describes the force of attraction by which little meaningless things have a way of attaching themselves to a flaw in integrity (jealousy) and undermining the foundation:
". . . trifles light as air
Are to the jealous confirmation strong
As proofs of holy writ: this may do something,
The Moor already changes with my poison: --
Dangerous conceits (thoughts, imaginings) are, in their natures, poisons,
Which at the first are scarce found to distaste
But, with a little act upon the blood, Burn like the mines of sulfur--."
