TRAGEDY or should i say tragic structure

Tragic structure often goes through five stages. 1. Introduction - find out what's going on. 2. A complication - where something goes wrong. 3. A climax - the big 'thing' or event. 4. Understanding. 6. The resolution - the chaos element is restored back to order.

Example: In Othello, the complication is Ijargo in general. The climax is Desdimona's death/murder which has a big build up. The understanding is the realisation by Othello that it was a mistake to kill her. And the resolution is that ijargo is taken off to prison and Othello doesn't go to prison for his wrong.
