events and people.
Freytag’s Pyramid:
How to Analyze a Fictional Story
1. Beginning/Exposition

• The exposition is like the set-up of


the story. The background
information that is needed to
understand the story is provided,
such as the main character, the
setting, the basic conflict, and so
forth.
2. Rising Action

• Rising action is a series of events and


actions that move a story to a climax.
During the rising action, the basic
conflict is complicated by secondary
conflicts, such as obstacles and
challenges that frustrate the main
character’s attempt to reach their goal.
3. Climax

• The climax is the peak of the action


and the turning point in the story.
Things will have gone badly for the
main character up to this point; now,
things will begin to go well for him or
her.
4. Falling Action

• During the falling action, the conflict


unravels with the main character either
winning or losing. The falling action
might contain a moment of final
suspense, during which the final
outcome of the conflict is in doubt.
