Definition and Examples of a Climax in Rhetoric (thoughtco.com)
In rhetoric, climax means mounting by degrees through words or sentences of increasing weight and in parallel construction, with an emphasis on the high point or culmination of an experience or series of events. The culmination of something is something, especially something important, which happens at the end of a long period of effort or development.
An example: "There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, 'When will you be satisfied?' We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by a sign stating 'For Whites Only.' We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream." (Martin Luther King, Jr., "I Have a Dream." August 28, 1963)
A ghetto is a part of a city in which many poor people or many people of a particular race, religion, or nationality live separately from everyone else. Selfhood is the quality that constitutes one's individuality [个性]; the state of having an individual identity.
