I'm back. Today we are going to talk about the climax of the myth we have been discussing in the last few posts. A climax is defined as the most intense, exciting, or important point of something. In my myth about how Zhou Mu-King, and I fall in love I'd say that the falling in love part is the climax. It is the most important part, or at least I think it is... The title of the myth is called the love legend, so obviously it is going to be the climax. This part in these next few lines gives a broader view and depth into our story: "After the banquet, Zhou Mu-King and I watched the West. The King said he would go to remoter places, but I advised he didn’t go, and I said there were many ferocious and big raptors which liked to eat humans in the western endless desert. Mu-King smiled and said these things couldn’t stop him.
During our conversation, we saw a upstanding tree. The king said, “Let this tree manifest our love.” He carved the characters “The Mountain of Xiwangmu” (西王母之山) on the tree with his sword. I leaned lightly against his shoulder, and felt peerlessly happy.
Mu-King promised to live with me for many days, and they returned my palace. But a messenger of the eastern states was waiting there." This is my favorite part.
One may also think the climax may be when Zhou Mu-King leaves me.
