Cevap

Peripeteia matches with 'A sudden and decisive reversal of fortune experienced by the protagonist.' Deus ex machina matches with 'An improbable or artificial plot intervention used to resolve an apparently intractable crisis.' Verisimilitude matches with 'The illusion of reality and believability maintained within the dramatic context.' Stichomythia matches with 'Rapid, alternating single-line dialogue between two characters during a tense confrontation.'
Each dramatic device is paired with its precise theatrical function: Peripeteia represents the sudden reversal of fortune; Deus ex machina describes an artificial plot intervention; Verisimilitude constitutes the illusion of lifelike truth on stage; and Stichomythia refers to quick, single-line alternating dialogue.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Define structural plot turn concepts in tragedy
Identify Peripeteia as the structural turning point marking a complete reversal of the hero's fortunes.
Classical tragedy relies on peripeteia to initiate the downfall phase following hubris or hamartia.
2
Analyze resolution techniques and theatrical contrivance
Identify Deus ex machina as an unearned or forced plot mechanism brought in to solve an impossible conflict.
Literary criticism distinguishes organic resolutions from artificial interventions introduced unexpectedly.
3
Examine conventions of stage realism and audience belief
Identify Verisimilitude as the quality of dramatic representation that commands belief through internal logic and plausibility.
Dramaturgy relies on verisimilitude to sustain the audience's willing suspension of disbelief.
4
Evaluate dialogue structure and verbal pacing
Identify Stichomythia as brisk, back-and-forth single line dialogue used to dramatize sharp conflict.
This technique accelerates rhetorical pace, heightening dramatic tension during debate or confrontation.
