Tragedy comes in many forms. There is tragedy of the commons and revenge tragedy, and these can mean different things to the reader. Tragedy authors each have a different take on how they approach their stories and it often correlates with their culture. "Tragedy has remained an important site of cultural experimentation, negotiation, struggle, and change". (Tragedy, Wikipedia) The stories the author's choose to tell and the development of their characters reveal how they feel about human nature. Tragedies show what the author sees as the worst side of human nature. "Tragedy is characterised by seriousness and involves a great person who experiences a reversal of fortune". (Commons, Wikipedia) The author may choose the conflict to be over a love interest, a squabble over money or an attack on pride. They amplify humans evil characteristics and put them in the spotlight.
