e.g. macbeth! (the musical, lol) --- or any modern versions thereof
(i'm about to restart house of cards which is ... richard the 3rd? or something) (it's not really a musical, it's just a word joke)
but anything with an unhappy ending, really. romances gone to hell like betty blue or bad timing or those anti-sex tales of eroticism gone awry. things that end in death/loss/defeat. in northrop fry's words, "the death of the hero."
the exception to "tragedy" being proper horror movies where the gore and disaster overwhelm any "heroism" by the survivors.
thanks in advance!
