ACT II Turning Points A Shakespearean play may have several turning points. Act II generally has at least one turning point for the protagonist.

ACT III Climax The most intense moment in a play. A powerful moment.

ACT IV Falling Action Contains further turning points. As the consequences of the action in Act III begin to unfold and more tension builds.
