In "The Possibility of Evil" by Shirley Jackson, the crisis occurs when Miss Strangeworth's carefully maintained facade of respectability is shattered. She discovers that her anonymous letters, which she sends to expose the perceived moral shortcomings of her neighbors, have unintended consequences that threaten the very community she believes she is protecting. The turning point comes when a neighbor retaliates by revealing her identity as the source of the letters, leading to her own isolation and downfall. This climax highlights the theme of the hidden darkness within seemingly benign individuals.
