The answer here is - hamartia. "Logos" is just the way of writing, employing logical thinking. "Peripeteia" is a turning point, a reversal of circumstances. "Anagnorisis" is a moment in a play when a character makes a critical discovery. So we are left only with hamartia, which is "a personal error in the protagonist's personality that brings about his tragic downfall".
