This dissertation applies Aristotle’s structural criteria to Netflix’s animated series Arcane (2021), focusing on plot construction and character design. It addresses whether Arcane can be considered a modern Greek tragedy, examining key elements such as plot dynamics and characterization. The study concludes that, although the series departs from ancient Greek theatrical conception and execution, it still strongly reflects Aristotle’s essential structural elements.","Facultad de Filosofía y Letras Grado en Estudios Ingleses  \nIs Arcane a Modern Greek Tragedy?  \nAlba Fernández Soto  \nTutora: María Anunciación Carrera de la Red  \nDepartamento de Filología Inglesa  \nCurso: 2023-2024  \nABSTRACT  \nAristotle wrote a definition of Greek tragedy that has been applied to the analysis of literary works as many times as it has been revised. The structural elements he identified in the construction of plot, just like that of character, are still part of today’s actualizations of the concept. The objective of this dissertation is to carry out a deep introspection of the Netflix series Arcane (2021) with the help of the original definition, by reviewing its plot and its construction of characters. The question of whether Arcane could be considered a modern Greek tragedy, as has been suggested, will be resolved, concluding that while the series does obviously deviate from the theatre of ancient Greece in conception and execution, there is a solid basis to affirm that Arcane exhibits some of the key structural elements of plot and characterization defined by Aristotle.  \nKeywords: Aristotle, Greek tragedy, Arcane, Poetics, Plot, Character.  \nRESUMEN  \nAristóteles escribió una definición de la tragedia griega que desde entonces hasido aplicada al análisis de obras literarias tantas veces como ha sido revisada. Los elementos estructurales que identificó en la construcción de la trama, al igual que en lade personaje, aún son parte de las recientes actualizaciones del concepto. El objetivo de esta disertación es llevar a cabo una introspección profunda de la serie de Netflix Arcane (2021) con ayuda de la definición original, a base de evaluar su trama y su construcciónde personajes. La pregunta sobre si Arcane podría ser considerada una tragedia griega moderna, como ha sido sugerida, será resuelta, concluyendo con que mientras que la seriesi se desvía de maneras obvias del teatro de la antigua Grecia en concepción y enejecución, hay una base sólida para afirmar queArcane sí exhibe algunos de los elementos estructurales clave de trama y caracterización definidos por Aristóteles.  \nPalabras clave: Aristóteles, tragedia griega, Arcane, Poética, Trama, Personaje.  \nTable of contents  \nIntroduction………………………………………………………………...…....6  \n1.
