      better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven

      In literature, rising action is a series of events that lead to the climax of a story or play. Rising action typically ends in a disaster that sets in motion the falling action, which leads to the climax. A story with rising action has the following qualities:

      1. It starts at the beginning of the story and ends at the end.
      2. The story is a plot (as opposed to a character study).
      3. The events of the story are connected by cause and effect.
