In the Ancient Greek tragedy, Antigone, the main character Antigone arrives in Thebes to prevent a prophecy that predicts her brothers will kill each other in battle. She arrives to find that she is too late; her brothers are already dead and her uncle, King Creon, has forbidden the burial of her brother Polyneices, having decided that he was a traitor. Antigone defies her uncle’s orders and buries her brother anyway. In fury, Creon throws her in jail, but is soon convinced by others to release her. Creon goes to the jail to give Antigone her freedom, but finds that she is dead, having killed herself in despair. Which is the falling action of Antigone? Antigone's decision to defy Creon's orders and bury her brother Creon's decision to pardon Antigone and release her from jail Creon's discovery that Antigone has hanged herself in her jail cell The battle between the two brothers which resulted in their deaths

"Falling action occurs right after the climax, when the main problem of the story resolves. It is one of the elements of the plot of the story, the other elements being exposition, rising action, climax, and resolution. Falling action wraps up the narrative, resolves its loose ends, and leads toward the closure."

In this situation, I would be confident in saying that the climax was Antigone hanging herself - the discovery of Antigone in her cell dead would be her falling action, occurring right after the climax, leading towards closure.

The falling action of Antigone is: Creon's discovery that Antigone has hanged herself in her jail cell.

The falling action is what transpires after the climax and resolution of the story has been reached.

In this description of events, we find that the event that happened after the climax (Throwing Antigone in jail) is the discovery of Antigone's dead body.

At this point, there is little anyone can do to avert this occurrence.
