The word outcome is widely used in our language to refer the end, the conclusion, of a fact, event, of a play, of a story, among other alternatives.
It is in written dramatic works and in those performed in the theater that we can most find this concept.
To clearly identify it, it should be noted that it is located behind that set of facts that continue to climax of a work and that as such stand as the conclusion of the story. At this moment of the piece is in which the problems and situations that the characters experienced throughout it are resolved. By case is that the outcome will always be the final scene of a play.
In a police work, it will be in the outcome that those responsible for a criminal act will be found or the doubts of a murder case will be cleared. In other words, in the end, everything is always clarified and resolved. Spectators, readers, from the moment they start reading a play or sit in the armchair to witness a play, look forward to the arrival of the outcome, while it is common for them to experience it with great excitement and adrenaline.
On the other hand, the outcomes of the theatrical works must have the following conditions: be necessary, that is, not being the product of chance; be complete, that is to say, all the characters must solve their stories; be simple and fast.
If we specifically get into the etymological origin of the word, it refers undo the knot and as we know, precisely knot is called the central part of a story in which the problems of the characters are presented, their situations become complex and intrigues proliferate. Then, in the denouement all the knots presented will be untied.
