Form & Structure of Journey's End

There's a lot of terminology in this podcast - so here's the spellings!

Artistotle's sturcture of a tragedy: INCENTTIVE MOMENT, leading through a complication (a tying up, or 'desis')to a CLIMAX. From there we go through an unravelling (or 'lusis') to a RESOLUTION (that's the end to you and me).

Aristotle's three unities of tragedy: (a) unity of time, (b) unity of place and (c) unity of action.

Three ingredients of a complex tragedy: (a) a 'change of fortune' (luck, life situation), (b) 'reversal of intention', and (c) 'recognition'. These all add together to create the 'catastrophe' - the tragic end to a play.

Great, eh?
