The pestilence is the inciting incident in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the inciting incident describes the event that triggers all subsequent happenings in the play. It therefore is the pestilence with which Oedipus, the priest of Zeus and the suppliants are concerned when the play opens. The characters spend the rest of the play finding the cause and carrying out the solution to bad harvests, declining populations and dying livestock. Without the inciting incident of the pestilence, there in fact will be no story.
Once the Exposition has come to an end, the Inciting Incident begins the forward movement of the plot.

The inciting cause in "The Cask of Amontillado" is when Montresor reveals that he has been insulted by Fortunato but has been patient in seeking his revenge. This revelation sets the events of the story in motion, leading Montresor to plot and carry out the murder of Fortunato.
The inciting incident of a short story is the part of the story were something gets screwed up. This is when the problem begins! :)It would be a lesser charge than inciting to riot, but it means you started a disturbance.

It can be found at the end, after information critical to understanding the main character and the geographical and temporal settings.
Inciting force~ the event or character that triggers the conflict Hope this helps! :)

You need the inciting incident early in the story, so usually in the exposition or rising action.
