What characteristics make Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet a tragedy?

Primarily, characters whom we like and empathize with (to wit, Romeo and Juliet) come to a nasty end. We feel sad because they die.
Questions like whether there is a "tragic hero", or a "tragic flaw" or a main character of high social standing are all irrelevant and don't apply to this play anyway.
