Statued as the towering paragon of unbridled jealousy, Envy was monstrously sculpted as a demoniacal inspiration for bitter resentment—an infernal muse wretchedly fueling the greedy hunger for a unique spotlight upon the corrupt stage of mortal existence and beyond, a metaphorical resemblance to its accursed influence that is ironic, considering its perpetual hatred for theatrics.
