Pathos in the film "City Lights"

Charlie Chaplin's City Lights, subtitled "A Comedy Romance in Pantomime," was released in 1931. Chaplin was responsible for the film's production, direction, editing, music, and screenplay. City Lights is a combination of pathos (an emotion of sympathetic pity), slapstick and comedy. In the film City Lights Chaplin uses pathos in the scenes "Flower Girl", "This Time Stay Out" and "Still Hoping". The first example of pathos in City Lights is in the scene "the Flower Girl." …

…in "This Time Stay Out" you feel pity for the little tramp once he is kicked out of the millionaires house because the millionaire is sober and he follows a stranger to get a cigarette butt. Finally in the last scene "Hope is Rewarded" the blind girl feels pity for the little tramp and wants to help him in the same way he felt pity for her and wanted to help her in the beginning.
