pathos: The effect of literature which makes the reader feel sadness or pity
- That's actually not the only definition, and by the way, you put that on the Talk page instead of the article. According to Princeton's Wordnet [1], "pathos" is:
-
- "poignancy (a quality that arouses emotions (especially pity or sorrow))"
- "commiersation, puty, ruth, pathos (a feeling of sympathy and sorrow for the misfortunes of others)"
- "a style that has the power to evoke feelings"

[edit] Structure
The article needs some structure, it is almost illegible. -- Aethralis 20:54, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pathetic?
Why does "pathetic" redirect here? Mouse 04:35, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
- Because if someone redirects it to here it will be a POV. ;-) 58.178.84.26 00:58, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
