A movie that shows <em>similar characteristics </em>to the ones that can be seen in Greek tragedies and Senecan dramas is The Passion of the Christ.

The <em>Greek tragic elements</em> that can be observed in Senecan dramas are the <em>melodramatic elements, such as killing, assassination, horror scenes</em>, that chock the reader or viewer. <em>Revenge</em> is also an important element since it is considered <em>the main plot of Seneca's plays</em>. <em>Supernatural elements</em> and the presence of the <em>underworld</em> are also important elements present in Senecan dramas. Greek tragedies usually tell the story of a<em> hero, a good person who had a terrible destiny or was misunderstood</em>. That causes <em>pity, empathy and fear</em> on the audience.

The movie The Passion of the Christ tells <em>Christ's story</em>, which is well-known throughout the world because of Christianism and the bible. That story was adapted into a movie format and shows <em>many similar characteristics to the ones in Greek tragedies and Senecan dramas</em>, such as <em>melodramatic elements</em> because the movie has <em>many horrific scenes of torture and blood-shed</em>; revenge and <em>betrail</em>, since it tells the viewer about <em>Juda's betrail that led Christ to his death</em>; <em>supernatural elements</em> because it tells about <em>Christ's resurrection</em> and his visions and <em>conversations with God</em>. Also, the movie is about <em>a hero that was misunderstood and had a terrible destiny</em>, moreover it causes <em>pity and fear</em> on the audience. Therefore, the movie presents many of the characteristics found in Senecan dramas and Greek tragedies.

What circumstances would emerson advocate for the benefits of consistency
Elan Coil [88]
<span>Emerson might advocate the benefits of consistency in the  natural world. If one day, the grass was green, and the next, it was blue, Emerson might rethink his whole philosophy with hating conformity. Of course, it is good to be unique, but grass of a same species, should be uniform and stay the “right” color.</span>
