What
is the climax of the short story Orpheus?
The
climax is when Orpheus traveled to the Upperworld to get his wife Eurydice
back. Eurydice must walk behind Orpheus as they ascend to the Upperworld. Orpheus
must not look behind to see Eurydice, otherwise, he will lose her. When they
are about to exit the cave into the light, he looked back to check on her. Ergo,
Orpheus lost her before they can make it to the Upperworld.
