Such a climax is a vision of deliverance or expanded energy and freedom. Frye draws on the Aristotelian notion of reversal, or \u003cem\u003eperipeteia\u003c\/em\u003e, to analyse the three plays commonly known as the 'problem comedies': \u003cem\u003eMeasure for Measure\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAll's Well That Ends Well\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eTroilus and Cressida\u003c\/em\u003e, showing how they anticipate the romances of Shakespeare's final period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNorthrop Frye\u003c\/b\u003e (1912-1991) was one of the twentieth century's most influential English scholars and literary critics.
