Climax
The climax of the novel occurs when the conflict is at its highest point of tension, when the crisis is at its acme. Because there are two main crises in the novel, this means there should be two climaxes. The first climax relates to the first crisis. It occurs at the ambassador’s party when The second occurs right after Higgins wins the bet and Eliza is able to fool everyone by making them. Usually, the novel ends with the winning of a bet, but with this resolution came another conflict. Pickering and Higgins treated Eliza as if she did not matter, as if she didn’t actually do anything and took all the credit for themselves. This was the height of the novel because Eliza rebelled by yelling at Higgins, throwing a shoe at him, and running away to Mrs. Higgins’ apartment.
