The Sleeping Dictionary

Given its Drama and Romance genres and the plot of a forbidden love with 'dire consequences,' the audience's primary emotional responses would center on intense Love between the protagonists. This is deeply intertwined with Sadness and Melancholy stemming from the societal prohibitions and the harsh repercussions they face. Empathy would be high as viewers connect with the couple's struggle against adversity. Despite the challenges, there would be a persistent sense of Hope for their union, interspersed with moments of Happiness and Joy when they are together. Anxiety would build as their defiance escalates, and Anger might be felt towards the restrictive forces and injustice.
