Nor does a peripeteia necessarily carry with it a tragic catastrophe, Aristotle notwithstanding."

"peripeteia, you mean," I condescended.
"I Walked in Arden"
Jack Crawford
The fable, in my opinion, was well chosen and naturally conducted, the incidents interesting, the characters beautifully contrasted, strongly marked, and well supported; the diction poetical, spirited and correct; the unities of the drama maintained with the most scrupulous exactness; the opening gradual and engaging, the peripeteia surprising, and the catastrophe affecting.
