D. Pathos

Pathos is a literary device that is used to garner emotions of pity, sorrow, anger, or other passionate feelings to the point where readers/listeners/audience members are persuaded into acting or thinking in a way the author/speaker wishes.  Thus, it is a persuasive literary device.  That said, let’s look at a few phrases from the excerpt that employ pathos by manner of describing scenes of injustice and cruelty:

“He has plundered our seas…destroyed the lives of our people.”

“…to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny...”

“…scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages…”
