What is the rising action in the novel devil wears prada?
Answers
Explanation:
The critical moment is one of self realization. It happens at the Fall fashion show for Christian Dior. The internal reflection had been building for some time in terms of wondering how her working for Miranda had changed her, how her social world had dwindled to only Miranda, and how her work in the fashion industry was actually doing more harm to herself and other women. When her family pleads with her to come home, she ignores them, but after given another assignment by Miranda with the usual callousness, Andrea has enough and tells Miranda what to do. This moment, punctuated by a great use of language, helps to form the climax as it is one where Andrea knows she can never return. Miranda fires her on the spot right there and while Andrea is hampered professionally, she has redeemed herself personally. This is the moment of actualization, the threshold of revelation and makes for the emotional climax of the novel.
