Apologies. What do you need ideas for anyway? You seem to have a suitably stringent grasp of what Tragedy is. It's frustrating how harshly policed the genre is.

I'm looking for more modern "stereotypical" tragic works to compare with older works. I also want to find appropriate works to look at through the lens of philosopher of thinkers such as Nietzsche, Aristotle and others who have commented on tragedy.

I'm also lazy and like reading.
