The Expression of Feeling or Emotion
Path´-o-pœ-i-a. Greek, παθοποιΐα, from πάθος (pathos), a feeling or passion, and ποιεῖν (poiein), to make.
This figure is so called, because the writer or speaker manifests some pathos or emotion: or betrays some strong and excited condition of mind.
It is of four kinds:-
Two arising out of pleasure: love and joy. And
Two arising out of pain: hatred and sorrow.
