Abstract

As part of research to analyze novels, this paper extracts emotions from novels and performs clustering to classify the patterns in which emotions appear in novels. Since transitions in emo-tions are important in novels, we clarify how emotions transition from the preceding parts of the novel to the ending parts, which are important for concluding the story. We also examine whether the patterns of appearance of emotions differ depending on the authors.
