Abstract

Emotions are the main component of a person’s character and personality. They are used to communicate messages and information. Emotions are represented in various ways, such as by physical actions, verbal tone, written text, etc. We are interested in identifying the emotions presented in the written text and then to analyze them. Emotions are complex in nature. An emotion exhibits its own nature and characteristics. It may represent another emotion in a written text. The complex property of emotions is similar to the characteristics of complex numbers, which are represented by their real and imaginary parts. Various algorithms are used to identify and analyze emotions in the text. These techniques usually considered each emotion as a separate element with its own characteristics. The relationship between different emotions and their influence on the overall polarity of the text has not received much attention from researchers over a period. In this work, the main idea is to analyze the complex characteristics of emotions by identifying the relationships and dependencies that exist between them. To support this idea, theories of emotions such as Plutchik’s wheel of emotions and Parrott’s theory of emotions are utilized. According to these theories, emotions are classified into different groups and levels depending on their intensities and dependencies. The results of the research are described in detail in the later sections of the article.
