Secondly, there is also the change in the order of fear and sorrow too in T.S. In fact, these quasi-passions are manifestations of psychological emotions. It is these emotions, which result in action and absence of mental states. As a result, how there could arise the quasi-passions of laughter etc. until there are mental disposition
