Pathos In Modern Love

Through life, people experience many kinds of love. Many people often believe they love someone, when they actually do not because they may not know what the word means. As much as we want to understand love, it is still simply indescribable. As C.S. Lewis tries to explain it in his book, The Four Loves, it is still a mystery as to what love truly means.

How he shows his emotion in the writing gets the readers to feel his experience throughout the article through their own in their life. He also shows the emotions of the other people in his class to give the reader a viewpoint other than his. It shows that Sedaris is not the only person in that class that gets emotion abused and feels like an outsider. This gives the reader a visual of exactly what it feels like to be sitting inside of that French

In “The Ethnic Theory of Plane Crashes,” Malcolm Gladwell makes a pathos appeal to the audience using scene and tone to really intrigue the intended audience by messing with their emotions.

Max Shulman’s piece, “Love is a fallacy” expresses many arguments expressed during every day social interactions. In the piece, the author comes into contact with his roommate, Petey Bellows and a possible love interest, Polly Espy. The author makes many unjustified guess pertaining to their wisdom and intelligence, and these false pretenses contribute to his interactions with the two, and he aims to take advantage of the opportunity of manipulating the two into achieving his own selfish desires. His plan backfires, and he is forced to reconsider his actions. In the process, Max Shulman reveals that his piece is both anti-women, anti-men, and Shulman underestimates the intuitive and emotional aspects of love.

Like I mentioned in the paragraph above love is usually defined as an intensive feeling of a deep romantic or sexual attachment to someone, however love is a bit more complicated than that. Love is special, it’s unique in it’s attitude and behavioral components, it’s a phenomenon that eludes easy definition (Our Sexuality, 2012).
