one of the most famous tragedy writers was William Shakespeare who wrote narratives such has macbeth, romeo and juliet and hamlet, these are very old styled stories that were popular in the 16th century, the main plot of which involves the main character wanting something they cant have and having to fight there way though obstacles to get to it however half way though the story all the characters hard work is destroyed by unfortunate circumstances.
in terms of gaming one of the latest tragedy narrative related games i have seen is the last of us, (spoilers) the story is about a middle aged man who lost his daughter at the start of an infected outbreak, years later he loses his best friend however at the same time he meets a young girl that gives him hope but then again she is threatened to be taken away from him.
the goal of a tragedy narrative is to make the audience become emotionally attracted to the main character, the way the writer does this by putting the main character through problems that could happen to you such as love, greed and death.
