Reversal the thrilling change of luck for the protagonist at the last moment in a comedy or tragedy
A prime example of reversal in beowulf is when beowulf goes to kill his last monster, a dragon. This dragon is terrorizing his land and it's people, so beowulf decides to kill him and bring peace once again. While he is fighting the dragon, everything seems to be going in his favor, until beowulf lifts his sword and goes to cut off the head of the dragon, but when he does this the sword breaks, leaving the dragon enough time to bite beowulf's neck, with this venomous bite beowulf still manages to kill the dragon, but only after his death.
