Ursula Complex

Originating from the antagonist character, Ursula, from Disney's "The Little Mermaid". It refers to a mental condition usually afflicting fat, unattractive, middle-aged women who treat prettier, younger women with intentional disdain and scorn. This vindictive behavior is said to be the product of irreconcilable jealousy. Ursula Complex can manifest itself in private situations, within families, and even in public settings. Symptoms include: Sideways glances at younger women, dirty looks, heightened gossiping, and overall unpleasant treatment of younger, prettier women for reasons that aren't made clear.
