Apparently I have made a major flaw in my writing, because several other people have also thought that my aim in writing this piece was to pinpoint Xander's reason behind the "Becoming II" lie, as simply an act of jealousy. This was absolutely not my intent; I didn't really want to discuss, in depth, the complex reasoning behind the decision, because it was not in keeping with my essay's thesis, which was simply to point out perceived similarities between Othello and the Xander-Buffy-Angel dynamic. It appears that I was less than clear, however.
Thanks very much for commenting; I appreciate your thoughts, and your further testimonial of the convoluted nature of my argument.
