The Sheltering Sky

The primary emotional responses for 'The Sheltering Sky' are dominated by Sadness and Melancholy, reflecting the couple's descent into despair and the aimless, unfulfilling nature of their journey. Empathy is significant as the audience connects with their struggles and deteriorating relationship. Anxiety and Confusion stem from their uncertain path and search for meaning in a challenging foreign environment. While there's an element of Curiosity and Awe from the African setting, these are largely overshadowed by the pervasive sense of emotional decay and the disturbing aspects of their experiences.
