In January of 2013, Timothy
Kudo, a Marine and veteran
of the War in Afghanistan
wrote an article “I killed
people in Afghanistan. Was I
right or wrong?” In February
of 2013, twenty-two service
men and women killed
themselves per day. Timothy
Kudo eventually took his own
life.
From his article:

My own editorializing:
(referring to the writer, not
me u/_lll_lll)
I personally believe moral
injury applies outside of the
context of war. Suffice to say,
I know this applies outside of
soldiers from personal
experience.
I believe this idea applies to
victims of abuse, neglect,
mental illness, and
oppression. Anyone who has
been put in a situation with
no right answers, who must

Complex Tragedy
peripeteia occurs
when a character
produces an effect
opposite to that which
he intended to
produce, while an
anagnorisis “is a
change from
ignorance to
knowledge, producing
love or hate between
the persons destined
for good or bad
fortune.” He argues
that the best plots
combine these two as
part of their cause-
and-effect chain (i.e.,
the peripeteia leads
directly to the
anagnorisis); this in
turns creates the
catastrophe, leading
to the final “scene of
suffering”
peripeteia:
exhibit 1
exhibit 2
exhibit 3
anagnorisis:
