  PSYCHOANALYSIS AND THE TRAGIC SENSE OF LIFE
The central, defining characteristic of the tragic sense of life is its insistence on the balance between the striving for rationality on the one hand, and the recognition of the underlying irrationality of existence on the other.
In this view, the tragic situation is not defined by the occurrence of terrible and rending events, but rather by the level of awareness and questioning it has engendered in the tragic figure.
It is the tragic task of psychoanalysis to insist on the termination's progressing through to its ultimate conclusion, and to exhort the participants to remain open to the full reality of the meaning and implications of the event.

  the concept of tragic in romanian philosophy
"Tragic existence, based on recognizing the dual character of objective existence, is firstly characterized by lucidity; it refuses as impossible both pessimism and optimism because those are totalising judgments of the existence in the perspective of certain values.
The tragic sublime has something specific, for compared with tragedy, sublime is the one to permit the transfer from what exists to what is and goes beyond the artistic connotation of death and suffering.
The tragic is a sign of being, a "category" of life; hence the relativity of discussions regarding tragic; one should search for its meaning gnoseologically and not existentially.

 Shakespeare and the Tragic Virtue
Instead of speaking of tragic flaws, therefore, we may say that Macbeth is predisposed to seek advancement through military prowess, that Othello is predisposed to trust his fellow man, that Hamlet is predisposed to be contemplative, that Lear is predisposed to express his identity through his position as King, and so forth.
The tragic trait is often enough the catalyst around which evil eventually arises, but if it is itself evil from the start, it is difficult to see what we would find admirable in these heroes or why, indeed, we would find even a moment's occasion to sympathize with them.
The "tragic flaw" does violence to the mode of thought concerning the tragic experience in the period, whereas the "tragic virtue" captures the essence of that mode perfectly.

 TragedyLecture
It is therefore inherent in Shakespearean tragedy that the tragic hero or protagonist is responsible through his own behavior or action, for the exceptional nature of the catastrophe itself.
A sense of inevitability begins to advance as we watch the tragic hero alienating his allies and closest supporters, until he is all alone and with his back to the wall in the 5th act.
This is where Tragic Recognition takes place, and the final scenes of the play are normally such that we become aware again of the greatness of the soul that has just been dispatched.

 The "Tragic vision"
Tragedy usually focuses on figures of stature whose fall implicates others--a family, an entire group, or even a whole society--and typically the tragic protagonist becomes isolated from his or her society (Phedre's "outcast and fugitive from all" would suit Lear and Hamlet as well).
In the tragic vision, the possibility of a happy ending is unrealized, although it is sometimes suggested, as when Lear is briefly reconciled to Cordelia.
Against the tragic protagonist are the powers that be, whether human or divine, governed by fate or chance, fortune or accident, necessity or circumstance, or any combination of these.

 PlanetPapers - Macbeth - a tragic hero
Like Macbeth, a tragic hero has choices, a conscience of right from wrong and in the end must die, because to live would create mayhem and a feeling that his actions were justified.

 Terry Eagleton. Sweet Violence: The Idea of the Tragic Style - Find Articles
Eagleton's Sweet Violence: The Idea of the Tragic is a continuation of the attempt to come up with a planetary theory by exploring the deep connection between tragic art and tragedy in life in the era of global capitalism.
Eagleton brings down tragic theory of the George Steiner and Dorothea Krook variety from its high horse, and for generations of scholars who came of age reading tragic theory that endorsed the elitism of the genre, reading Eagleton on the subject is a satisfying experience.
As Eagleton states lucidly, "While tragic theory insists for the most part upon one version of tragedy, tragic practice tends to illustrate another; and this incongruity, which runs back to Aristotle's Poetics, is deep-seated and persistent enough to suggest that it constitutes a cultural problem in its own right" (17).

 The Tragic Mulatto Myth
A century later literary and cinematic portrayals of the tragic mulatto emphasized her personal pathologies: self-hatred, depression, alcoholism, sexual perversion, and suicide attempts being the most common.
The mulatto was made tragic in the minds of Whites who reasoned that the greatest tragedy was to be near-White: so close, yet a racial gulf away.
The tragic mulatto stereotype claims that mulattoes occupy the margins of two worlds, fitting into neither, accepted by neither.

 The Tragic Sense of Education
The tragic protagonists' actions are often reasonable, given their state of knowledge, and they do not themselves have any sense of tragedy—the audience does.
For the authors discussed here, the "tragic sense" refers to a larger awareness of the impediments to success, the prospects for failure, and the limits to our effort—else we are in the role of the tragic protagonist, striving mightily in ignorance or self-deception about the significance of our actions.
The tragic sense, I have argued, means to embrace two perspectives at once, without escaping into either one: to undermine our hope with doubt, and to fight against our skepticism with persistent effort for the better.

 Literary Terms for Tragic Heroes page
The tragic hero will most effectively evoke both our pity and terror if he is neither thoroughly good nor thoroughly evil but a combination of both.
The tragic effect will be stronger if the hero is "better than we are," in that he is of higher than ordinary moral worth.
Such a man is shown as suffering a change in fortune from happiness to misery because of a mistaken act, to which he is led by his hamartia (his "effort of judgment") or, as it is often literally translated, his tragic flaw.

 Is Utena a Tragic Hero?
The tragic hero is not perfect, for he is not exalted to a god-like status, but he is human.
So, applying the Aristotelian standard of the tragic hero, it becomes clear that Utena is an epic hero walking among a cast of tragic heroes, and ultimately saves most of them from their folly.
It is interesting that both types of tragic heroine characters exist in Utena: Utena herself as the first, defiant variety, and Anthy as the latter.

The root of all these tragedies is lack of empathy - the ability to get behind the eyes of another person and imagine the effects of your behavior on the other person before you act.
Besides empathy having a purpose in life, belonging to a strong belief system cannot only reduce the risk of your children making tragic headlines, but can also help them understand and cope with life's setbacks.
