Dramatic Dramatic structure is the structure
Structure of a dramatic work such as a play
or film, how the plot or story of a
play is laid out, including a
beginning, a middle and an end.

According to Freytag, a drama is


divided into five parts, or acts, such
as:exposition, rising action, climax,
falling action, and resolution or
dénouement.
Exposition

Exposition (introduction) is

beginning of the story.
Rising Action
• In the rising action, a series of related incidents build toward the point of greatest
interest. The rising action of a story is the series of events that begin immediately after
the exposition (introduction) of the story and builds up to the climax.
Climax
• The rising action culminates in a climax, or the turning point of the story. At this stage,
the protagonist faces their main conflict head-on, opposing the antagonistic of the story
—typically a villain.
Falling Action
• Immediately following the climax, the conflict between the protagonist and the
antagonist unravels, creating suspense about the final outcome. The falling action is
often out of the protagonist’s control.
Resolution • Sometimes called the
denouement, the resolution of
a story concludes the plot,
tying up loose ends and
answering final questions.
Three-act
Structure The first act is usually used for exposition, to
establish the main characters, their relationships and
the world they live in.

The second act, also referred to as “rising action”,


typically depicts the protagonist’s attempt to resolve
the problem initiated by the first turning point, only
to find him- or herself in ever worsening situations.

The third act features the resolution of the story and


its subplots.
Interpretation
• In Writing Drama, French writer and director Yves Lavandier shows a slightly different
approach. He maintains that every human action, whether fictitious or real, contains
three logical parts: before the action, during the action, and after the action. Since the
climax is part of the action.
