Hamlet

Audience emotional responses to Hamlet (1996) are dominated by profound **Sadness** due to the overwhelming tragedy, loss of life, and the protagonist's despair. This is closely followed by deep **Empathy** for Hamlet's impossible dilemma and the suffering of characters like Ophelia. A pervasive sense of **Melancholy** underscores the film's somber tone and philosophical contemplation of death and fate. Viewers also experience significant **Anxiety** from the constant tension, Hamlet's indecision, and the escalating danger, alongside **Anger** at Claudius's treachery and the injustices faced. The complex and 'convoluted plot' also elicits considerable **Confusion** as Hamlet's sanity and intentions are constantly questioned.
