The Denouement

The denouement is the final part of a story, where all the main conflicts are resolved and the story's questions are answered. It follows the climax—the most intense point—and provides closure, tying up loose ends. In this phase, characters' fates are clarified, and the audience gains a sense of completion. Essentially, the denouement wraps up the narrative, offering a satisfying conclusion and insight into what happens after the central events. It helps the audience understand the story’s outcome and the characters' future, bringing the story to a clear and reflective end.
