ComplicationsComplications

Complications are events that make it hard for the character(s) to solve the conflict.

Also called rising action.

Exposition

Complications unfold the heart of the plot.

What are some complications in The Lion King?

Complications give us information about what might happen.

We can infer, or guess, what will happen based on this information.

Sometimes the author will foreshadow, give a hint as to the outcome.

Climax: the story’s most exciting or suspenseful part.

This is where the conflict is decided one way or the other.
