The Crusade

The audience's emotional response to 'The Crusade' is primarily driven by **Humor**, stemming from the comedic absurdity of a teenager's extreme, albeit well-intentioned, ecological efforts and his parents' bewildered reactions. This leads to significant feelings of **Joy** and **Happiness**. The plot's central reveal elicits **Surprise** and **Confusion** as the parents (and audience) grapple with the son's secret project. There's also **Empathy** for the parents' predicament and the son's idealistic, if misguided, ambition.
