Logic and reasoning

Logos relies on logic and reading. The root word logo means word or speech. The speaker's credibility uses the appeal of ethos. By proving the source as credible, the speaker's message is seen as more valid. Pathos is the rhetorical appeal to the emotions of the audience. The tragic heroine's flaw when looking at the story structure of a hero's journey is considered hamartia.
