Do you mean to ask if there's literally a green-eyed monster in Othello? If that's what you're asking, then no.
The "green-eyed monster" refers to the popular saying which says a persons eyes "turn green" when filled with the feeling of jealousy. One of the main themes in Othello is jealousy, along with deceit and betrayal. There is no physical green-eyed monster in Othello.
