Cevap
Chorus matches the collective group commenting on action; Deus ex machina matches the improbable or abrupt resolution of plot conflict; Catharsis matches the emotional purgation of pity and fear; Pathos matches the arousal of deep sympathy and compassionate sorrow.
Each dramatic device aligns precisely with its specific function in theatrical analysis: Chorus serves as the collective commenting group; Deus ex machina provides an abrupt, improbable plot resolution; Catharsis represents the audience's emotional purgation of pity and fear; and Pathos is the quality that evokes deep sympathy and tender sorrow for a suffering character.
