Freytag’s Analysis

According to Freytag, a drama is divided into five parts, or acts: 1. __________ 2. __________ 3. _______ 4. __________ 5. __________

Exposition The exposition provides the __________ information needed to properly understand the story, such as the protagonist, the antagonist, the basic conflict, and the setting. The exposition ends with the __________ moment, which is the incident without which there would be no story. The inciting moment sets the remainder of the story in motion beginning with the second act, the rising action. It's all part of the plan.

Rising action During rising action, the basic conflict is __________ by the introduction of related __________ conflicts, including various obstacles that frustrate the __________ 's attempt to reach his goal. Secondary conflicts can include adversaries of lesser importance than the story’s antagonist, who may work with the antagonist or separately, by and for themselves or actions unknown.

Climax The __________ act is that of the climax, or turning point, which marks a change, for the better or the worse, in the protagonist’s affairs. If the story is a __________ , things will have gone badly for the protagonist up to this point; now, the tide, so to speak, will turn, and things will begin to go well for him or her. If the story is a __________ , the opposite state of affairs will ensue, with things going from __________ to __________ for the protagonist.

Falling action During the falling action, which is the moment of reversal after the climax, the conflict between the protagonist and the antagonist unravels, with the protagonist __________ or __________ against the antagonist. The falling action might contain a moment of final suspense, during which the final outcome of the conflict is in __________ or resolution. In this case the pyramid (as having a triangle form) has to be modified.

Dénouement or catastrophe or Resolution The __________ ends with a dénouement (a conclusion) in which the protagonist is better off than at the story’s outset. The __________ ends with a __________ in which the protagonist is worse off than at the beginning of the narrative.

Criticism Although Freytag’s analysis of dramatic structure is based on five-act plays, it can be applied (sometimes in a modified manner) to short stories and novels as well. Nonetheless the pyramid is not always easy to use, especially in modern plays such as Uhry´s "Driving Miss Daisy", which is actually divided into 25 scenes without concrete acts.
