outside and in Mrs.Luella Bates Washington Jones house
The inciting incident in "Thank You, M'am" by Langston Hughes is when Roger tries to snatch Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones's purse, but she catches him and takes him home instead of calling the police. This event sets off the chain of events that leads to Roger's realization of his mistake and Mrs. Jones's act of kindness and compassion towards him.

You need the inciting incident early in the story, so usually in the exposition or rising action.
I think the inciting incident would be when Jonas becomes the Reciever because that is where the story leads up to when he find out about "release" and runs away. -RS

The pestilence is the inciting incident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the inciting incident describes the event that triggers all subsequent happenings in the play. It therefore is the pestilence with which Oedipus, the priest of Zeus and the suppliants are concerned when the play opens. The characters spend the rest of the play finding the cause and carrying out the solution to bad harvests, declining populations and dying livestock. Without the inciting incident of the pestilence, there in fact will be no story.
Thank you Ma'am is 'merci madame' in French.
It is the event that sets in motion the central conflict of the story.
