in this case tho i don't think the sultan caused jealousy on purpose like you made it sound. he's yandere asf, and I think the concubines were all brought in by the court officials. this is how things are supposed to be. obviously, in modern day, monogamy is a thing– but that's not the case in a historical setting. especially not the emperor, who rules over an empire.

I'm so tired of women in harems being made out to be so spiteful and everyone ignoring the fact that the emperor/sultan or whatever is seen with no fault in the jealousy/envy he causes
