    The classical structure of drama includes rising action, climax, and falling action leading to either a catastrophe for tragedies or a denouement for comedies. The rising action introduces conflict that builds throughout the play. The climax occurs when the hero makes a pivotal decision or discovery. In the falling action, the hero becomes increasingly helpless against the rising conflicts. This leads to the catastrophe, where the results of the earlier actions are revealed, concluding the main dramatic action.
