NARRATIVE
Theclimax
(from theGreekword (klimax) meaning
staircase and ladder)

orTURNING POINT of anarrative

work is its point of highest tension
or drama.

Climax

The point of climax is the turning point of the story, where the main character makes the
single big decision that defines the outcome of the story and who he or she is as a
person. The dramatic phase that Freytag called the "climax" is the third of the five
phases and occupies the middle of the story. Thus "the climax" may refer to either the
point of climax or to the third phase of the drama.

The beginning of this phase is marked by the protagonist finally having cleared away the
preliminary barriers and being ready to engage with the adversary. Usually, entering this
phase, both the protagonist and the antagonist have a plan to win against the other.
Now for the first time we see them going against one another in either direct or nearly
direct conflict.

This struggle results with neither character completely winning, nor losing, against the
other. Usually, each character's plan is partially successful, and partially foiled by his
adversary. What is unique about this central struggle between the two characters is that
the protagonist makes a decision which shows us his moral quality, and ultimately
determines his fate. In a tragedy, the protagonist here makes a "bad" decision, a
miscalculation that demonstrates histragic flaw.

The climax often contains much of the action in a story, for example, a defining battle.

Climax is the highest point of the story.
