The main purpose of the falling action in a play is to bring a sense of closure and resolution to the story after the climax. It is the section of the play where the conflict and tension are gradually resolved and the loose ends of the plot are tied up. The falling action serves to provide a sense of catharsis for the audience, allowing for emotional release and understanding of the consequences that follow the climax. It allows the characters to reflect on their actions, make important decisions, and experience the outcomes of the conflicts they have encountered throughout the play. The falling action also helps to set the stage for the denouement or conclusion, leading the play towards its final resolution.
