CLIMAX VS ANTICLIMAX — DEFINITION, EXAMPLES, AND EFFECTS

When approaching the end of their story, writers have two options — climax or anticlimax. In most cases, a climax is the most natural and satisfying conclusion but an anticlimax can be just as effective. In this video, we will break down the differences between climax vs anticlimax, the pros/cons of each, and how writers can use either to great effect.

WHAT IS A CLIMAX

A climax is when the main conflict of a scene, act, or story is finally resolved. In more dramatic stories, this might be an emotional peak; in more action-driven stories, this might be a spectacular set piece. In all cases, it is the pinnacle of what that particular story was building toward.

WHAT IS AN ANTICLIMAX

Conversely, the anticlimax is a subversion or denial of that resolution. In a romance story, the two leads may not end up together. In a revenge tale, when the hero finally has their target in sight, they take no action. Most of the time, these anticlimactic endings aren't the product of shoddy writing, they are intentional decisions made by the writer for comedic purposes or to make some larger point.

Even though a vast majority of stories end in a climax, it is not the only option. As a writer, knowing your options can allow you to meet or subvert expectations as you craft the right ending for that particular story.
