Catharsis is an emotional release.
Examples:
Crying is a great catharsis for releasing pain and anger.
As the city grieves for those who died during the hurricane, many survivors find catharsis in the warmth of area churches.
As a long-suffering fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, my father received a great catharsis when they won the Super Bowl in 2017.

@LastStarfighter Thanks! DO you know if I'm using catharsis (as a literary convention) correct in my sentence?
- There is a catharsis that Daisy was never going to choose Gatsby over Tom as she “hadn’t sent a message or a flower”, reflecting her careless personality.
--> Do I need 'a' catharsis

@cricity I haven’t read The Great Gatsby in years (fantastic book!) so I’m not sure? Just reading what you wrote, it’s not clear to me who exactly is experiencing a catharsis and why.
From what I remember of Daisy, she’s kind of selfish and, as you say, careless. So who is receiving an emotional release by her staying with Tom instead of Gatsby? It’s just not how I would characterize what is happening there, at least as far as I can remember. Sorry if this is not as helpful as you might like!

@LastStarfighter Ahh yep I get what you mean. I wanted to say the audience came to a realization, but that wouldn't really be a catharsis. Thank you for your insight! I'll probably have to use another way to describe it.
