The Girl in the Book

As a drama centered on a young woman confronting a painful past, the audience's primary emotional responses are Sadness and Empathy for Alice's struggles and her 'shattering' experience. A pervasive sense of Melancholy reflects her lost and self-destructive state. As she slowly heals and rediscovers her creative voice with help, Inspiration, Hope, and Love (from a new relationship) become prominent. Anxiety and Disturbing elements arise from the confrontation of painful memories, while Happiness, Relief, and Satisfaction emerge as she progresses towards healing and self-acceptance.
