Beginning - Exposition - Rising Action - Climax - Falling Action - Denoument or Wrap-up
The pyramid plot structure typically consists of three main parts: the introduction (exposition), the rising action (build-up of tension and conflict), and the climax (culmination point of the story where the conflict reaches its peak). These parts are followed by the falling action (resolution of conflict) and the conclusion (resolution or closure of the story).
In Freytag's pyramid the writer sets the stage for the rest of the plot during the climax.

The plot pyramid, commonly used as a visual tool to illustrate the structure of a story, was developed by Gustav Freytag, a German playwright and novelist, in the 19th century. It is often referred to as Freytag's Pyramid in his honor.
It is a plot divided into parts,each having its own plot yet contributing to the bigger plot.

Rocks
Start with a large foam ball. Calculate what parts of the ball you need to remove to make the pyramid, using your geometrical formula. Plot the points on the ball that represent the pyramid and mark them. From the points on the base, make a line connecting them around; this will be come your base. Now cut the ball with a fine wire or jig saw. Repeat the process for each face of the pryramid.
The dénouement is the element from Freytag's pyramid that occurs late in the plot in general and in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) in particular.Specifically, the term dénouement describes the unraveling of the complications in the plot. It also is called the resolution. On Freytag's pyramid, it occurs between the falling action and the actual ending to the play.
