Angel

Audience emotional responses for 'Angel' are heavily influenced by its Drama and Romance genres, focusing on the protagonist Angel's journey from a self-centered fantasist to facing harsh reality. Sadness and Melancholy are prominent as Angel's idealized world, built on her 'frothy romances,' inevitably crumbles with the onset of the Great War and the complexities of her relationship with the 'rake' Esme. Love is a central emotion, reflecting her intense pursuit of Esme, though it's often tinged with pain and unhealthiness. Empathy arises from witnessing Angel's struggles as her delusions are shattered and for the devoted, yet perhaps exploited, character of Nora. Anticipation and Anxiety reflect the audience's engagement with the unfolding drama, wondering how Angel will cope with the stark contrast between her fantasy and the brutal realities of life and love.
