We should talk about the loss of tragedy in tragedy. Tragic means a hubris is gone, but a likable one. Likable though it may be, it is gone. What you have to do is not "tragify" the loss of something better missed than had, whose absence is sweeter than its presence.
The tragedy of a tragedy is the presence of something, not the disappearance of it, but another thing, not gone. A shadow, removed.
