Pity and fear
Catharsis is an emotional purging; in other words, a release of pent-up negative emotions. This term often relates to tragedy, but I am not sure if you are referring to the tragedies we suffer in our lives, or tragedy as a literary genre.
Aristotle did believe that an audience experienced catharsis when watching a tragedy. Catharsis is a process of release and in watching a tragedy an audience is able to get relief from emotions.
