It is interesting to note that Aristotle realizes that the average person usually isn't persuaded by arguments alone. It is for this reason that the rhetor needs to have a firm understanding of how to use his own character and the emotions of the audience as means of persuasion as well.Chapter OneEthical and Pathetic ProofsGeneral Discussion of EthosObject of Rhetoric is JudgmentSpeaker's character important for deliberative oratoryChapter OneJudge's frame of mind more important for forensic oratoryThree qualities necessary to produce conviction:–good sense–virtue–good willDefinition of emotions–The emotions are all those affections which cause men to change their opinion in regard to their judgments, and are accompanied by pleasure and pain.Book IIChapters Two - Eleven–Pathos– Introduction"Emotions in Aristotle's sense are moods, temporary states of mind---not attributes of character or natural desires---and arise in large part from perception of what is publicly due to or from oneself at a given time. As such, they effect judgments" (Kennedy 124). The clever speaker, therefore, can alter the psychological state of members of his audience by arousing specific emotions in them, and, thus effect their judgments.PathosAims of Rhetor in Arousing Emotions–The aim of the rhetor, according to Aristotle, is to aroused these emotion in an audience in order to effectively secure the judgment that he desires from them and to be able to arouse negative emotions (e.g., shamelessness, enmity, and envy) against one's enemies.PathosWhat we need to know about the emotion in order to persuade (2.1):–the nature (definition) of the particular emotionwhat is the state of mind of the person who feels the emotion? –the object of the emotiontowards whom or what is the emotion felt? –cause of the emotionwhy is the emotion felt and in what circumstances is it felt?Chapter TwoCatalogue of Ethical/Pathetic ProofsAnger and MildnessAnalysis of Anger–Definition–Slights–Dispositions of those roused to anger–Objects of angerChapter TwoAnger–definition: strong desire for revenge caused by the belittlement of ourselves or those we love. This belittle must be uncalled for (e.g., undeserved)–object = felt towards that particular individual (or group) that has caused us harm–cause = some manifestation of belittlement--- e.g.:contempt: felt towards those who are viewed as unimportant.spite: involves thwarting another's wishes, not to get something for oneself but to prevent him from having it.insult: involves saying or doing things to sham one's victim not because of anything he may have done to you, but simply for the pleasure involved.Chapter ThreeCalmness–definition: the settling down and quieting of anger. Therefore, calm is the opposite state of anger.–object = felt towards those who do not belittle us (i.e., who respect us)or who have done so involuntarilyor who are sorry for what they have done, etc. –cause =when we feel prosperous,
