Explanation:

Gustav Freytag formed the framework that structured the dramatic ideas known as Freytag's Pyramid. His theory focused on breaking the stories into play and counterplay. The climax is considered the middle part of the play. The play and the counterplay are divided into the two halves that builds the pyramid. There are five dramatic elements in the pyramid. The introduction is the first element, following rising action, climax, falling action, and ending with the denouement.
