The first part of the Beowulf excerpt describes the rise of King Hrothgar after the previous king's death. What part of Freytag's pyramid best fits this section of the story?
A. Falling action
B. Resolution
C. Climax
D. Exposition
The correct answer is D) exposition. Exposition basically means 'beginning'. And since this happens in the first part of Beowulf, that must be the correct answer. Resolution happens in the end. Climax is the most important event in the story. And falling action is when everything cools down.
