Unlock the Secret Power of Freytag’s Pyramid: Master the 5 Elements That Make Stories Unforgettable
(Note that many people call this the “rising action,” but Freytag calls it rising movement.)
3. Climax
In Freytag’s framework, the climax occurs in the middle of the story.
In this framework, the climax can be thought of as a reflection point. If things have gone well for the protagonist, at the climax they start to fall apart tragically.
Or in a comedy, if things have been going poorly for the protagonist, things start improving.
The author should, according to Freytag, put his or her best effort into the writing of this scene, as it is the moment that carries the story as a whole.
