Anticlimax (narrative)
The climax (from the Greek word ''κλῖμαξ'', meaning "staircase" and "ladder") or turning point of a narrative work is its point of highest tension and drama, or it is the time when the action starts during which the solution is given. The climax of a story is a literary element. Examples The punch line of a joke is an analogy for the climax of a fictional narrative, though the absence of any falling action is an essential difference, which may reflect the nature of humor as opposed to the nature of drama.

Anticlimax (figure Of Speech)
In rhetoric, a climax ( grc-gre, κλῖμαξ, ''klîmax'', "staircase" or "ladder") is a figure of speech in which words, phrases, or clauses are arranged in order of increasing importance. In its use with clauses, it is also sometimes known as auxesis ( "growth").

The initial inferior options make the final term seem still better by comparison than it would appear in isolation: "X is good, Y is better, Z is best" is a standard format. It can also be used in reverse to make the initial term seem better by comparison: "A isn't perfect but B is worse and C is worst." Examples * From the ''First Letter to the Corinthians'': "There are three things that will endure: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." * George Wald from ''A Generation in Search of a Future'': "I think we've rea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
