Unlock the Secret Power of Freytag’s Pyramid: Master the 5 Elements That Make Stories Unforgettable
A few notes about the climax:
- The climax is relatively short, with just one major scene.
- The climax occurs toward the middle of the play (slightly right, maybe ⅗ of the way through the story).
- Honestly, it’s not that climactic. Today, most writers would probably call the final death scene the climax, not this scene. Instead, we would call this the midpoint, a turning point leading up to “the dark night of the soul.”
- This is when the counter-play begins. In the first half of the play, the lovers unite. In the counter-play, the lovers separate, until they are ultimately separated by death.
Falling Action
Romeo is in exile. Juliet’s parents force her into an engagement with Paris, and to avoid it, Friar Laurence helps her fake her own death. Believing his wife is dead, Romeo leaves exile after purchasing poison from an apothecary to end his life.
