A list of all tragedies in literature is a huge list. I will go ahead and list some of the more famous tragedies in order to keep the list more manageable.
Shakespeare is a good place to start:
Antony and Cleopatra
Coriolanus
Hamlet
Julius Caesar
King Lear
Macbeth
Othello
Romeo and Juliet
Timon of Athens
Titus Andronicus
Christopher Marlowe is a contemporary of Shakespeare and has a couple of famous tragedies to his name, including:
The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus
Tamburlaine the Great
John Webster is another good choice for an author of tragedies. He wrote
The Duchess of Malfi
The White Devil
More modern literature has plenty of titles available as well:
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne
The Crucible by Arthur Miller
Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
