Emotional

  The next domain is that of emotion. The earlier example of love is an emotional object. The fear which the characters of Lycanthrope discuss in relation to were-creatures is another emotional object. Actions such as hating or loving are emotional actions. In Zoo, the small horse-spider creature is described as enjoying the experience of the intergalactic trip it has been on--enjoying is another example of an emotional action. States exist within the emotional domain as well, as can be seen with such things as feeling hatred towards something. Using Zoo again, the people who have gather in Chicago are described as waiting for the spaceship with wonderment, which would be an object; the state of possessing wonderment would be an emotional state relating the people to the object of wonderment. Finally, emotional agents are the most difficult to comprehend as they are relative rare; but, they do exist. Extreme emotional reactions can be viewed as having a volition of their own. Consider His hatred forced him to consider the unlikely plan. In this sentence, hatred has become a volitional object. Other forms of emotional agent can be seen in certain fictional depictions of characters such as Phobos, the embodiment of fear.
