In the rising action and climax of a narrative, the element that is not typically present is:
- The protagonist decides to resolve the conflict.
In the rising action and climax of a story, tension is built as the conflicts are introduced, leading to the climax where these conflicts come to a head. The protagonist's decision to resolve the conflict usually happens before or after the climax, not within the rising action and climax themselves. This decision is crucial for the resolution of the story, which occurs after the climax has been reached.
