    The climax is the most intense moment of the story that occurs just before we learn the outcome of the main conflict. In this story, the climax occurs when Boaz kills the intruder and then shaves his face. It is then that we know that Boaz has been right about his son all along. Boaz has also known that Campbell was the killer, but he was afraid to tell anyone because he knew they wouldn't believe him. People had already judged his son and Campbell, and they would have never accepted Boaz's version of the events.
