==The Wheel of Fortune==

Peripeteia is often described as a wheel of fortune. As the wheel turns, those at the high point will find themselves descending whilst those at the bottom, discover their prospects improving. Thus whilst some character may lose all that is dear to them, others will have good fortunes and get what they desire by the end of the narrative. In traditional narratives, this often means death for the [[Tragedy|unlucky]], and [[Comedy|marriage/love]] for the fortunate.

As the wheel turns, those originally positioned at the high point of the wheel will find themselves descending, whilst those at the bottom will discover their prospects improving as they approach the top. Thus whilst some character may lose all that is dear to them, others will have good fortunes and get what they desire by the end of the narrative. In traditional narratives, this often means death for the [[Tragedy|unlucky]], and [[Comedy|marriage/love]] for the fortunate.
