Exploring Lovecraft’s Fiction: A Data-Driven Approach

This project analyzes the word count and sentiment of H.P. Lovecraft's stories to explore potential correlations between story length and emotional tone.

Presentation: View the presentation

Project Overview

  • Word Count Distribution: Analyzes the typical length of Lovecraft's stories and identifies outliers.
  • Sentiment Analysis: Examines the emotional tone of the stories, determining whether they lean positive, neutral, or negative.
  • Correlation Analysis: Investigates any relationships between the length of a story and its sentiment score.

Data

  • Lovecraft's Fictional Works: Scraped all fictional texts by H.P. Lovecraft from hplovecraft.com.
  • Word Count: Total number of words in the story.
  • Sentiment Score: A value indicating the emotional tone (ranging from negative to positive).

Analysis Approach

  1. Word Count Distribution: Visualized using a histogram to display the spread of word counts, with an indication of the average.
  2. Sentiment Score Distribution: Visualized using Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) to illustrate sentiment across the stories.
  3. Sentiment vs. Word Count: A scatter plot to explore the potential relationship between story length and sentiment.

Key Findings

  • Word Count: Lovecraft's stories vary significantly in length, with some notable outliers.
  • Sentiment: Most stories have a neutral to slightly negative sentiment.
  • Correlation: There is no significant correlation between story length and sentiment.
