Power dynamics also play a role. As Arthur is the king and Merlin is his servant, the jealousy can be intensified by the social gap between them. Arthur may feel that his position doesn't allow him to show his true feelings, and his jealousy is a manifestation of his internal conflict between his heart and his status.
One common theme is the struggle with unspoken love. Arthur's jealousy often arises from his love for Merlin that he can't or won't admit. It's a way of showing his possessiveness in a romantic sense without being fully aware of it himself.
Another theme is misunderstandings. Merlin might be completely oblivious to Arthur's jealousy, which leads to a lot of confusion. For example, when Merlin is friendly with a new character, Arthur might think there's more to it, but Merlin is just being his usual kind self. This creates tension and drives the plot.
