Sentiment and emotions are important parts of the analysis and interpretation of literary texts, especially of plays. Therefore, the computational method to analyze sentiments and emotions in written text, sentiment analysis, has found its way into computational literary studies. However, recent research in computational literary studies is focused on annotation and the evaluation of different approaches. We present a tool to investigate the possibilities of Distant Reading the sentiments and emotions expressed in the plays of Lessing. Researchers can explore polarity and emotion distributions and progression on concerning structural and character based levels but also character relations. We present various use cases to highlight the visualizations and functionalities of our tool and discuss how Distant Reading of sentiments can add value to research in literary studies.
