Cevap
The revelation functions as the narrative's central anagnorisis (moment of critical discovery), transforming the plot's rising action into a tragic climax by revealing that the protagonist's life long actions were founded on a deception.
The correct answer accurately identifies the revelation as the pivotal moment of discovery (anagnorisis) in the plot structure. By revealing that the protagonist's past punishment of his brother was based on a falsehood, the plot reaches its dramatic climax, turning the protagonist's self-righteous anger into irreversible guilt and driving the narrative toward its tragic resolution.
