Within the sequence of events that occur, what is central to the aristotlean tragic plot is reversal of fortune and discovery.
The former is defined as the change of the kind described from one state of things within the play to its opposite, and the latter is a change from ignorance to knowledge, and thus to either love or hate, in the personages marked for good or evil. The effect of reversal and discovery on the audience will be to arouse either pity or fear ... and it will also serve to being about the happy or unhappy ending.
Furthermore, Aristotle states that "pity is occasioned by undeserved misfortune, and fear by that of one like ourselves."
