Pathos. Although any figure of speech may be employed to evoke an emotional response, many figures are specifically designed to do so, or else are themselves functions of the emotional state of the speaker.
Bathos. Anticlimax with humorous effect; spurious pathos; triteness.
Hubris. Overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance: “There is no safety in unlimited technological hubris”
Hamartia. The character flaw or error of a tragic hero that leads to his downfall. Tragic Flaw.
Catharsis. Elimination of a complex by bringing it to consciousness and affording it expression.
So much for looking up the definitions.
I hardly understand any.
Ew.
