When determining the climax of a narrative, the moment the action of the story takes a turn should be considered.
The climax of a story is the culmination of events in the story, the moment something pivotal occurs which evokes nervousness or excitement. When a decisive event such as this happens in a story, that is most likely its climax.
The resolution comes after the climax, and usually ends the story.
The most interesting and compelling character mostly likely plays a part in the narrative's climax, but is not the climax, as the latter is action happening in the story.
When a character begins a journey is the start of something that will build up to a culmination of events, but is not the culmination of events itself.
