Rising action and falling action
The falling action
The 'falling action' occurs immediately after the climax leading to the resolution or denouement.
falling action
The stage that follows is called the falling action then the resolution. The resolution is also called the denouement.
In Milton Geiger's short story "In the Fog," the rising action is the series of events leading up to the climax, where tension and conflict escalate as the protagonist navigates through a dense fog. The climax occurs when the protagonist faces a critical turning point or revelation, often the most intense moment in the story. The falling action follows the climax, showing the consequences of the climax and leading towards the resolution or conclusion of the story.

The element that comes just before the denouement in Freytag's Pyramid is the falling action. This part of the story follows the climax and shows the consequences of the climax and begins to wind down the tension in the plot.

Climax
Isn't this a rather devious way of asking what the climax of the play is? In the Freytag Pyramid sense, the climax falls in Act 3 Scene 1 with the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt. The death of Tybalt is, in particular, the event which sends the plot spiralling into tragedy. And the important event immediately following it is the trial of Romeo in absentia for the crime of street brawling causing death. Of course, another view of what a climax is all about (the resolution of the plot conflicts) would make the climax the deaths of Romeo and Juliet, and the event which follows is the reconciliation of their families.
The 'falling action' occurs immediately after the climax leading to the resolution or denouement.
In Freytag's pyramid the writer sets the stage for the rest of the plot during the climax.
Freytag's pyramid outlines the structure of a narrative in five key elements: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution (or denouement). The apex of the pyramid is the climax, which represents the turning point or most intense moment of the story. This is where the main conflict reaches its peak, leading to the subsequent resolution of the plot.
exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and den
If you are talking about Freytag's pyramid, the "climax" is always Act 3. In terms of dramatic tension, this reaches its peak when Othello is about to kill Desdemona.
