AB Aristotle 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.
