40. The resolution of the story
occurs when conflicts are
ultimately resolved and the
problems are solved in one
way or another.
Resolution
Stories have a plot, and a plot has five main parts:
introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, and
resolution. Resolution is sometimes referred to by the
French term denouement, which means "to untie."

41. It is important to note that not all resolutions
are positive or happy. Sometimes the
conflict is resolved in a way that is painful for
characters, but ultimately, the conflict is
resolved.

43. Examples
of
Conflict Resolution

44. 1. Two friends fight
over a boy, but in the
end, they realize that
friendship is more
important, and the
boy ultimately moves
away from the town
anyway.

45. 2. A young lady is sick
with cancer, and while
she fights the disease,
goes through many
treatments, and

positive attitude and
great outlook on life,
she ultimately passes
away from the disease.

46. Examples from Literature
and Film:

47. 1. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo and Juliet
are dead, and their families end their
feud as they realize that their hatred has
led to the deaths of their children.

48. 2. When the final book of the Harry Potter
series comes to an end, Voldemort has
been defeated through Harry's ultimate
sacrifice, and although there has been
much loss of life, Voldemort is ultimately
defeated.

49. 3. In the Biblical story of Noah and the Flood, the
flood waters recede after a period of time, and
Noah, his family, and all of the animals are able to
exit the ark. The rainbow becomes a symbol that
God will not use a flood to destroy the Earth again.
