A quality that evokes pity or sadness is the meaning of pathos. I hope this helps.
In this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s "The Death of Ivan Ilyich", the sentences that best shows how Ivan Ilyich struggles with his life and his inability to let go of his past are:
"He was hindered from getting into it by his conviction that his life had been a good one. That very justification of his life held him fast and prevented his moving forward, and it caused him most torment of all."
In this two sentences, we can see that Ivan Ilyich cannot comprehend what is happening to him if his life had been so god. His past happiness does not allow him to accept his current situation. Ivan Ilyich is aware of this incapacity of letting go of his past and feels frustrated and depressed because of it.
B - Sometimes Enaki is Enaki Narok, the Black God, is happy with us and blanketing the sky with dark clouds that pour out raig to nourish the plains.
This exceprt shows the connection between Enaki being happy and then sending the rain - this explains where the rain as well as droughts come from (when Enaki is unhappy)
