This page needs a lot of work. The definition of "anti-climax" especially needs attention. Slugicide 03:47, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
It is definitely agreed that this page needs serious work. For example, in theatre, the turning point and the climax are two separate (though closely linked) incidents, and this article fails to address that. --Elva barr 00:00, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Position of Climax in Fiction
The article mentioned that climaxes in fiction usually occur two-thirds of the way through the text, but I don't think this is true. With a few notable excpetions (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King springs to mind), most prose that I know of has a climax much more than two-thirds through the work. Therefore, I've changed the article to reflect this; if anyone has evidence otherwise, feel free to change it back. 129.2.194.171 23:43, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
