Black Angel

The audience's emotional response to 'Black Angel' is dominated by a pervasive sense of **Anxiety** and **Sadness**, reflecting Livia's journey into a 'ruinous vortex' and the 'shattered' nature of her life. **Anticipation** builds as she travels towards a fateful encounter, while the 'burning love affair' evokes a complex, often tragic, **Love**. A strong feeling of **Melancholy** and **Disturbing** elements arise from the retrospective nature of her 'devastating sexual abandonment' and the morally ambiguous, decadent setting of war-torn Venice. **Empathy** is felt for Livia's personal defeats amidst the larger historical turmoil, alongside feelings of **Guilt** and **Fear** as events unfold.
