In my opinion, there is no single climax in "Eveline,"but rather several. The first climax occurs just after her mother's words of madness, "derevaun seraum, derevaun seraun," when she "stood up in a sudden impulse of terror," and becomes panic stricken, realizing that, if she stays in Ireland, she will be trapped there forever, resulting in a life that in actuality would be better described as a "death within life." Another way to describe this climax is to say that she experienced a kind of revelation, i.e. a moment of acute awareness of her fate, an epiphany if you will.
It seems to me that a second climax occurs when Frank cries out to Maria "Come!" and with "a cry of anguish" stays put, appearing to be in a state of shock at her own refusal to comply. This is a great example of Joyce's ability of character development.
Additionally, I think that the final lines of the story lead to a tragic anticlimax; "Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition." The ternary rhythm in this line emphasizes the Horror of Eveline's fate. I believe that this mood is strengthened by the second climax because it epitomizes the heroin's dilemma; whether to continue on with the known routine, which would most likely result in her never experiencing true happiness or pleasure, or to face the unknown. I believe that she ultimately ends up denying herself the right to be happy and refuses the unknown.

In "The Encounter" by James Joyce, the climax occurs when the protagonist, a young boy named Jackie, confronts an eccentric old man who has been harassing him. The climax is reached when Jackie stands up for himself and asserts his own agency in the face of the old man's bullying behavior. This moment represents a turning point in the story, as Jackie learns to assert himself and not be intimidated by others.

In James Joyce's story "The Encounter," the bridge symbolizes a transition from one state of being to another. It represents a threshold where the characters confront the unknown and experience a sense of transformation or realization. The bridge becomes a metaphor for the journey of self-discovery and the crossing over into new perspectives or understanding.
