envy's
The green monster's
Envy's is the possessive form of envy—the resentful longing for what others have.
It attributes qualities or effects to that emotion: envy's grip, envy's corrosive power.
The form appears more often in literary or poetic contexts than in everyday speech: Envy's green eye watches from the shadows.
