Show transcript
Pathos is created when Arthur is shot - he is an innocent victim of this incident. As a WW1 veteran, Arthur dies in a violent incident at home rather than enjoying the freedom and safety he fought for. Arthur is characterised as more open-minded than his son, showing that racism is not just a generational issue. Arthur's death shows that racism is deeply damaging to society as a whole.
