In what two ways can the climax of a story affect the main character

1. The main character’s moment of truth (the inner journey point toward which the whole story has been moving)
2. The Climactic Moment Itself (our characters will certainly be flirting with desperation, bordering on temporary insanity. Like a pressure cooker about to erupt, it’s all been building to this. Now it’s time to blow everything up)

The climax would greatly affect the main character in the story. First, the main character will have a shift of situation. In the climax, the main character would have to face conflict in his role. This would change a lot with the mood of the character or even with the attitude of the character. The character would struggle to resolve the problem. Second, the climax will help the main character find out the truth or find the resolution to his problem. Here, he will realize everything that is happening thus he will make an effort to resolve it in different possible ways that he could.
