I'm thinking of a word... It's a term for an unexpected plot change, like "twist" but it's oh so more sophmore or junior year than that... Anyone have a clue? I can't find it on the online thesaurus.Another word for plot twist?
peripeteia
A sudden change of events or reversal of circumstances, especially in a literary work.
Note: If you scroll all the way down the web page provided, there are a couple more variations of a literary "turning point" that you may be seeking, i.e., anagnorisis and deus ex machina.
