- Climax
- George Orwell gets a call on the phone from the sub-inspector at a police station about an elephant ravaging the bazaar and asking him to go do something about it. He gets on a pony and grabs his rifle, thinking all he had to do was use the noise from the rifle to scare the elephant away. He is told about all the damage the elephant has done. He makes it to the quarter where the elephant was last seen. A bunch of children are being shooed away from something. He went around a hut and saw a dead body. He asks for an elephant rifle.
- Falling Action
- He gets himself an elephant rifle, and some Burmans tell him where the elephant is. Practically the whole population of the quarter sees him with the rifle and follows him, excitedly shouting that he would kill the elephant. He has no intention to kill the elephant, only bringing the rifle if necessary for self defense. He finds the elephant. The crowd behind him pressuring him to shoot the elephant keeps on growing.
- Resolution
- He shoots the elephant. A change comes over the elephant and it falls down. He shoots the elephant again. The elephant attempts to rise again, but gets shot for a third time. He waited long for the elephant to die, but it didn’t. He fired his last two shots into the elephant, yet it still didn’t die.
- It took the elephant half an hour to die. The corpse was stripped to the bone by the afternoon. The owner was very mad to hear his elephant had died, but couldn’t do anything about it.
- He was glad the elephant had killed someone, because it made him legally in the right, and he didn’t have to admit he had only killed the elephant to avoid looking like a fool to the natives.
