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.
