Ethos And Pathos In Karl Marx's Manifesto

Karl Marx uses ethos, pathos, and logos extensively throughout his manifesto, though most would argue that his bold claims were based on delusion. An example of how he used ethos would be his vocabulary, which almost comes across as intellectual arrogance. As I stated in my week two forum post, Marx wrote in a sophisticated, scholarly, and eloquent manner, which lent credibility to his work. In doing so, I feel this both helped and hurt the persuasiveness of this piece. While it did enhance the authoritative tone of the manifesto, I think he would have connected better with his target audience if he wrote it in a way that was easier for the average person in the mid 1800s to comprehend.
