Resolution

The resolution of a plot is essentially the ending. Most of the loose ends are tied up, and closure is introduced. It follows the Falling Action.

Examples
At the end of Lord of the Flies, the boys are rescued by a sailor. After seeing an adult for the first time in a long time, they have an emotional breakdown, realising the horrible things that they had done.

"He turned away to give them time to pull themselves together; and waited, allowing his eyes to rest on the trim cruiser in the distance."
