Emotional Response- The Silence of the Lambs

Character	Emotional Response	This was achieved by
Hannibal Lecter	- Shock - Disgust - Hatred - Horror	The development illustrated in the first 10 minutes of the film that illustrates how evil of a person Hannibal Lecter is. Dr Chilton describes him as " a monster, a total psychopath" and he shows Starling an explicit example of his violent nature. While the image is not shown, we can see the disgust and horror reflected through the horrified expression on Starling's face as she glances at the photograph. Despite this, the most shocking aspect of this scene is Lecter's appearance. As Starling walks towards his cell, we see the other inmates who range from uncanny to downright insane yet when we see Lecter for the first time, he's clean, sharply dressed and presents himself as proper.
Clarice Starling	- Empathy - Compassion - Worry	As a woman, Clarice Starling has to cope with the common attributes of a patriarchal system, particularly in her line of work which is mostly male dominated. Besides Clarice, we only ever see one other woman training as a member of the force, who is Clarice's close friend. While she seems to not take certain acts of sexism around her to heart, it is incredibly apparent that other officials of law enforcement look down upon her, condescendingly. This is highlighted in one scene where before an autopsy, Clarice asks if the sheriffs in the room may leave, to which they stare at her blankly with an expression of confusion and even slight offense that they are being ordered by woman.
Dr Chiltern	- Cringe - Disgust	Dr Chiltern's slimy and mostly pathetic attempt to court with Clarice upon them meeting one another is an all out uncomfortable experience to sit through. This is complimented by the close up shot on Chiltern's face, highlighting most of his specific features. Anthony Heald's performance, as well as the intentionally inappropriate use of vocabulary in the dialogue, makes this entire scene utterly cringe inducing. There is little to no sense of charm in his delivery of the ham handed compliments in an attempt to win the attention of a completely uninterested Clarice who tries to shrug off the comments.
Buffalo Bill	- Horror - Empathy - Disgust
