What's that word for when a character has achieved a sudden

climax

>>8369128
It's not necessarily an ending but it does imply that feeling of sudden revelation that could be tied to climax

catharsis?
realisation?

>>8369154
Yes catharsis that's exactly it, thank you

I made that word specifically for you thread's request. You may use it in your work, OP, but ONLY if you cite 'Smartboi' (aka me) as the source of this term.

Thank you,
Smartboi.

Anagnorisis not catharsis, catharsis is a purgation of negative emotion in the audience caused by the downfall of a tragic agent.

Anagnorisis is the moment where the tragic agent realises the nature of their hamartia (tragic flaw) and it normally comes paired with a moment of perepeteia (a turning point). For example, the moment where Iocasta runs off from Oedipus and Oedipus realises what he's done is a moment of anagnorisis that also represents the perepeteia to the final act of Oedipus Rex.

glad to have caused a feeling of catharsis in you

Catharsis is the purgation of repressed emotions, especially fear and pity.
