Purgation of emotion, pity and fear is
Answer Details
The correct option is "catharsis". Catharsis refers to the process of purging or releasing emotions, specifically feelings of pity and fear. This term was first used by the Greek philosopher Aristotle to describe the effect that tragic plays had on audiences. According to Aristotle, tragic plays allowed people to experience these emotions in a controlled way, which could help to relieve them of any similar feelings they may be carrying in their own lives. In modern times, catharsis is often used to refer to any process of emotional release or purification. This can take many different forms, such as talking to a therapist, writing in a journal, or even engaging in physical activity like running or boxing. The goal of catharsis is to help individuals process their emotions in a healthy way, so that they can move past any negative feelings and experience a greater sense of emotional well-being.
