An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A specific type of Zany Scheme: Two characters, Alice and Bob, are an Official Couple... or they would be, if Bob wasn't so mired in the river of denial that he insists that the water flowing all around him is solid ground. Alice, who is not in denial and very aware of Bob's feelings, gets fed up with his refusal to spit them out and takes matters into her own hands. Confronting him directly with the evidence might cause him to run for the hills, so Alice gets into a faked or temporary relationship with Convenient Charley, to make Bob insanely jealous enough to come clean first.

  • A specific type of Zany Scheme: Two characters, Alice and Bob, are an Official Couple... or they would be, if Bob wasn't so mired in the river of denial that he insists that the water flowing all around him is solid ground. Alice, who is not in denial and very aware of Bob's feelings, gets fed up with his refusal to spit them out and takes matters into her own hands. Confronting him directly with the evidence might cause him to run for the hills, so Alice gets into a faked or temporary relationship with Convenient Charley, to make Bob insanely jealous enough to come clean first. Hopefully, the operation succeeds. Hopefully, Charley isn't too insufferable or bland and drives Alice insane first. Hopefully, Bob doesn't take this as a sign that he doesn't have a chance with Alice. Hopefully, Bob doesn't just want his beloved to be happy. Hopefully, Bob doesn't fail to notice because he has the awareness of a brick. Hopefully, Bob doesn't fall for it so thoroughly that he pulls a Counter Zany that Alice thoroughly falls for! And hopefully, Alice doesn't actually fall for Charley... See Green-Eyed Epiphany for when Alice is in denial too and her relationship with Charley is only part of that. Very unlikely to be Truth in Television for anyone with serious feelings, as most people who believe they are in love try to avoid upsetting the people they think they're in love with. Also using people is a mean thing to do especially when the person doesn't know. Then again.... Examples of Operation: Jealousy include:
