Question

describe in detail the climax of the story
of david Copperfield​

Answer 1

Answer:

The climax is the turning point of a story, and the most exciting part.  In David Copperfield, the climax occurs when David witnesses the aftermath of a shipwreck and Steerforth’s death.  In the resolution, David comes to terms with his wife and friend’s deaths and decides he loves Agnes.

David points us to the climax at the beginning of chapter 55.  First of all, he titles the chapter “tempest, ” which is a big storm.  That’s one clue that something is up!  In this case, the storm is both literal and figurative.  The storm at sea causes death and destruction as David is grappling with a storm within his soul after Dora and Steerfoth die.

Steerforth’s death has a big impression on David.  It resolves the conflict of Emily’s ruination.  He can’t hurt her anymore.  It also makes him re-evaluate his life.  Dora’s death does not really hit him until this point.  This is when David decides he loves Agnes.  David realizes he should have loved her all along.

So by the end of the book, everything is resolved.  David’s inner struggle is done, and he lives happily ever after with Agnes.
