the hero
Greek philosophy describes tragedy as an "imitation of an action"
happiness into suffering.
pity and fear
Aristotle believed that experiencing dangers and conflicts in a tragedy from an emotionally remote standpoint allowed the audience to gain a sense of catharsis, or emotional release. By distancing themselves from the intense emotions portrayed on stage, the audience could reflect on the themes and messages of the play more objectively.
The term you are referring to is "anagnorisis," which is the moment of sudden understanding or realization that the protagonist has about their own fate or actions in a tragedy. It is a key element in classical Greek tragic plays and is often followed by a moment of catharsis for the character and the audience.
