Herod's Law

Herod's Law elicits a strong mix of **Humor** (particularly dark and satirical), **Anger** and **Disgust** at the pervasive corruption, and **Sadness** and **Empathy** for the tragic downfall of its protagonist and the plight of the town. **Anxiety** and a sense of the **Disturbing** are also prominent as the plot escalates into a cynical portrayal of power and moral decay, characteristic of its crime and drama elements, while the comedy provides a biting, often uncomfortable, laugh.
