Proof

Audience emotional responses for 'Proof' are primarily driven by strong Empathy for Martin's unique struggle as a blind man seeking 'proof' of reality. This is coupled with significant Sadness and Melancholy stemming from his isolation and the antagonistic, distrustful nature of his relationships. The 'black comedy' aspect introduces a dry Humor and a sense of Anger or frustration from the characters' manipulative interactions. Despite the difficulties, the Romance genre ensures a presence of Love and Hope for connection, even if complicated and fraught with Anxiety and Confusion as Martin navigates his world and relationships.
