Rising Action hero has conflict with others but still stays on top ** Act II - in love with the enemy, get married

Crisis / Climax turning point in action, major setback which foreshadows downfall ** Mercutio’s death, Romeo’s revenge on Tybalt

Falling Action more setbacks, some comic relief ** Acts III & IV – banishment, separation of Romeo and Juliet, Juliet’s marriage to Paris is set, potion plan, comic relief

Tragic Force speeds up the downfall ** Act V – news of Juliet’s “death” from Balthasar

Moment Of Final Suspense delays death – offers a possible escape ** Juliet might awaken before Romeo takes the potion

Denouement (Resolution) and Conclusion ties up loose ends, restores order ** Act V, iii – duel suicide, Friar Laurence’s explanation, monuments erected, end to feud in sight, punishment is questionable
