Climax
Oddly enough the climax of the scarlet pimpernel is not a fight scene or a death but when the Scarlet Pimpernels secret identity is revealed.
After Percy unexpectedly leaves for France, Marguerite discovers to her horror that he is the Pimpernel. He had hidden behind the face of a dull, slow-witted man in order to fool the world. He had not told Marguerite because of his worry that she might betray him, as she had the Marquis de St. Cyr. The moment is full of such tension that you are literally reading as fast as you can. I think i recognized the climax right off the bat.
