A key theme in many author’s stories, politician’s speeches, plays, and even everyday people’s stories is empathy. This feeling should be naturally felt by all of humanity, and will evoke a deeper understanding of the surrounding world and the people in it. Empathy is much like compassion, however it’s a deeper emotional connection. This is the feeling when you put yourself in other people’s shoes, allowing you to believe that you are feeling what they are. Both Eugenia Collier and Robert F. Kennedy convey their message of empathy through character descriptions, characters actions, and a request of change from the audience.
