Best Answer

A theatrical tragedy is generally a play in which one or more of the main characters dies. In many of William Shakespeare's plays, his title characters exhibit a "tragic flaw" a sole characteristic that is what eventually causes their downfall. However, it does not only exist in just Shakespeare, the tragic flaw can be seen in characters from all realms of theatre, from John Proctor in Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" or Baron Tuzenbach in Anton Chekhov's "The Three Sisters".

a tragicomedy can be one of many types of shows that encorporate elements of both tragedy and comedy, like a tragic show with a happy ending, or a tragedy with several elements of comedy to lighten the overall tone.
