A creation of Dumas on page that arouses pity (6)
I believe the answer is:
pathos
This clue is a double definition.
'a creation of dumas on page' is the first definition.
(character created by Alexandre Dumas)
'that arouses pity' is the second definition.
(pathos evokes pity)
(Other definitions for pathos that I've seen before include "Literary style arousing feelings of sorrow and sympathy" , "Pitiful quality" , "Power to excite tender emotion" , "Quality that arouses sympathy" , "A quality that arouses pity or sorrow" .)
