What is the climax To Kill a Mockingbird?

Answer 1

Anticlimax - a drop, often sudden and unexpected, from a dignified or important idea or situation to a trivial one or a descent from something sublime to something ridiculous. In fiction and drama, this refers to action which is disappointing in contrast to the previous moment of intense interest or anything which follows the climax. The effect may be comic and is often intended to be. According to Samuel Johnson, who first recorded the word, it is "A sentence in which the last part expresses something lower than the first." The term comes from the combination of two Greek words: anti, which means "against" or "the reverse of," and klimax, which means "a ladder" and was derived from klinein meaning "to slope." An example of an anticlimax is when the indigent protagonist finds a great amount of money for which (s)he has been intently searching and does nothing with it.

Answer 2

The climax of "To Kill a Mockingbird" is when Atticus Finch defends Tom Robinson in court and delivers his closing argument. This is the pivotal moment of the story where the tension and conflict reach their peak as the verdict is handed down.

Answer 3

The climax in my opinion is when Bob Ewell tries to kill Jem and Scout on their way back from the play. In addition, Boo Radley comes to save them and kills Bob Ewell. This is because he cares for the kids and the reader and characters both learn that he is kind and a hero as well. thnx!

Answer 4

Well, the climax is actually somewhat debatable, so I don't mean to cause more trouble, but the two scenes that could be considered as the climax are when Atticus loses the case for Tom Robinson, and when Bob Ewell tries to kill Jem and Scout

Answer 5

The climax is when the kids are kidnapped by Bob Ewell. He kidnaps them and Boo Radley saves them but kills Bob in the scuffle. It is commonly thought that the trial is the climax, but it isn't because their is more to the story after the trial.

Answer 6

When Tom is declared guilty. Later (not in the actual courtroom), Tom is shot and killed.

Answer 7

Probably when Bob Ewell attack Scout and Jem.

Answer 8

Probably when a man tries to kill Scout and Jem.

Or maybe when they found out that Boo Radley saved them.

Answer 9

That is way to late in the story to be the climax. The climax is the trial.

Answer 10

Tom Robinson's trial.
