For sexual climax, see orgasm.
In a story, the climax is the point of highest drama, generally occurring approximately two-thirds to three-fourths of the way through the text, after the rising action[?] and before the falling action[?]. It is the moment of greatest danger for the hero(s) and usually consists of a seemingly-unfixable failure to reach the goal, followed by a near-miraculous recovery.
