Pathos

Pathos is the appeal to emotion

This means to use specific language that stirs emotions in your audience. figurative language techniques and anecdotes are particularly effective means of this.

pathos can be extremely powerful when used well, however a speech built entirely on pathos is rarely successful. playing off of your audiences emotions will allow them to connect with you but it can also become manipulative if used too often
