Question

Which passage is an example of the falling action in the black cat

Answer 1

The narrator realizes he cannot find the cat, but doesn't worry too much about it. Later, the police unexpectedly show up to his house. Screaming can be heard coming from inside the walls, and the police break down the wall. So find something similar to that.

Answer 2

Answer:

But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburthen my soul.

Explanation:

Falling action generally follows the climax of the plot and takes the story towards the resolution of the conflicts contrary to the rising action that includes the decisions that lead to the climax. It associates with the wrap-up of the narrative and moves towards closure. In "Black Cat", the falling action occurs when the protagonist was caught while burying his wife under the wall and cat mews as police were looking for him. Thus, the phrase that best exemplifies the resolution of the conflict is "But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburthen my soul" that suggests the protagonist's acceptance of his evil deeds and discharging his soul of the burden that indicates a resolution to the internal clash he was going through.
