Best Answer

No. Tragedy is a dramatic form from the Greek theatre tradition. It is more concerned with a person bringing about their own downfall through their actions. It is also linked to the classical belief that tragedy - or 'bad fate'- was in the stars and there is nothing a character can do to avert it.

In a modern sense, it is more explained as a fault in a character that leads to a demise or death.
