This analysis presents how persuasive discourse, while defending the accused (DSK), becomes a tool used to create the image of the defendant of the accused (BHL as the intellectualist that fights for social justice). This strongly emphasized ethos creates natural imbalance – the one that talks become more important than the one who is the subject of his speech. This effect is strengthened by the emotional impact – pathos is built upon the feeling of indignation.http://pressto.amu.edu.pl/index.php/srp/article/view/4306
