In "A Shocking Accident" by Graham Greene, the pathos or sense of suffering and sadness found was the main character's (Jerome) father got into a very tragic accident or death. However it is represented as a 'joke' or a 'laughing matter', for his father died because he was killed by a falling pig.

Answer:

Pathos is represented in this work by the sadness and melancholy caused by the tragic death of the main character's father.

Explanation:

Pathos means "suffering and experience". In Aristotle's rhetoric, this translates into the ability of the speaker or writer to provoke emotions and feelings in his audience. Pathos is associated with emotion, refers to the appeal to the emotional side of the target audience. In short, pathos seeks to empathize with the public. When the author shows in the book "A Shocking Accident" all the suffering, melancholy and pain that the character is feeling through the sudden death of his father, the author is able to move the readers and communicate with them through a plot, using pathos.

Pride is also another theme that can be found in Antigone when we see men creating laws that substitute for divine principles, believing they are made from divine will.
