Pathos

Pathos (from paschein, the Greek word meaning "to suffer") is an appeal to another's pride or character in general. It is a means of persuasion. It is a part of Aristotle's philosophies in rhetoric. These are qualities of a fictional or nonfictional work that evoke sorrow or pity. Overmotionalism can be the result of an excess of pathos. See also: Rhetoric
