Rising action
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the plot analysis of a typical play, book or film, rising action refers to the dynamic period after the exposition, when conflict has been introduced. Generally the protagonists will face more and more conflicts, until a climax is reached and the conflict is resolved.
Rising action very often comprises the majority of a work. The basic conflict is complicated by the introduction of related secondary conflicts, including various obstacles that frustrate the protagonist's attempt to reach his or her goal. Secondary conflicts can include adversaries of lesser importance than the story's antagonist, who may work with the antagonist or separately, by and for themselves.
Example: Farmer Jones mistreats the animals and they discuss ways to address their abuse. (from Animal Farm by George Orwell)
