As cultural change has taken place over the past few decades, women's exposure to this notion has changed. This article seeks to interpret women's understanding of men's jealousy, and to this end the audience is based on the "Mali And Its Untraveled Paths Film". The data collection tool was semi-structured interview. To achieve the goal, the method of narrative analysis is used and the analysis technique is the method of William Lebow.<br />Given that women's interpretation of Jealousy is narrative, the findings show that women perceive Jealousy as a "necessary support."; That is, comprehensive support that comes with trust, lack of respect, lack of skepticism, and lack of skepticism. Women find this kind of jealousy necessary for their lives because they see it as a symbol of love and affection for their spouse. For women, men see jealousy as a kind of control over women and the result is violence. This asymmetry in understanding Jealousy for couples is a crisis. Audience reading is also a dual film. Some narrators sympathized with the character of "Malihea" in the film because they had lived through her life, while others considered the film exaggerated. This shows that the audience's perception of the film is inspired by their real-life experiences. "Jealousy" is a kind of cultural feeling and value in the Iranian family system.
