The climax of any play or piece of literature is the moment of highest dramatic tension. However, this is commonly misunderstood to be the biggest visual event. Synge proves this is not always the case. In fact, the climax of any story is the moment when the major conflict is resolved. In the case of "Riders to the Sea" by John Millington Synge, the major conflict is Maurya and the sea. It is a "Man vs. Nature" story. Therefore, the climax of "Riders to the Sea" is the moment when Maurya makes peace with the sea by finding peace within herself. She accepts the sea's power, defers to the greatness of the sea, and signifies this resolution by raising her head. She then begins her monologue which verbally completes her acceptance of their fate. "They're all gone now and there isn't anything more the sea can do to me..."
The rising action of the climax (the visual appearance of Bartley's body) is often argued to be the actual climactic moment, but the major conflict is not between Maurya and Bartley or Bartley and the sea. It is between Maurya and the sea. Thus, the resolution of the major conflict must focus strictly on Maurya and the sea. The appearance of Bartley's lifeless body on stage is merely the catalyst that begins Maurya's reversal of fortune and recognition, in the Aristotelian sense.
