Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tragedy (from the Greek: , tragōidia) is a genre of drama based on human suffering and, mainly, the terrible or sorrowful events that befall a main character.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, et al. And so on and so forth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Novels are not about a protagonist surviving, but about satisfying the reader. A story can end with the hero attaining his goal, or with him failing his task. A story can have a happy end, or an unhappy end. A story can end with the lovers living happily ever after, or with the protagonist dying.

Detailed explanation-4: -It should be sudden. Death is never expected. It should not be a normal death. Having a warrior die in battle is something that only happens in real life. It should be glorious or meaningful. Make sure their death is noticed. It should be noble or horrid. It should feel right. 17-Dec-2020
