inciting incident and proceeding forward to the crisis onto the climax.

3. All of the earlier scenes and actions in a play will build technically to the
highest level of dramatic intensity. This is the moment where the major dramatic
questions rise to the highest level, the mystery hits the unraveling point.

4. After the climax the author will often resolve any loose ends and begin to
conclude the story. Here the reader will receive important details that are not
necessarily intense or conflict filled.

5. The resolution is the moment of the play in which
the conflicts are resolved. It is the solution to the conflict in the play, the answer to
the mystery, and the clearing up of the final details. This is the scene that answers the
questions raised earlier in the play.
