In the English - language context, "inhuman", "cruelty", and "rebelled" carry negative connotations. "Inhuman" implies lacking human qualities in a bad way, "cruelty" refers to the act of being cruel, and "rebelled" indicates an act of going against authority in a negative sense. "Feared" and "loved" are neutral in this context as they are simply stating emotions, "virtues" is positive, and "foreign", "prince", "produce" are neutral terms.
