• EXPOSITION: introduces characters, setting, and background information.
• RISING ACTION: the plot becomes more complicated, and the conflict intensifies.
• CLIMAX: the point of greatest tension; the conflict reaches its greatest height, and the crisis (turning point) occurs.
• FALLING ACTION: follows the climax and leads to the resolution.
• RESOLUTION: the culmination of the plot.The Bedford Glossary of Critical and Literary Terms
