Fumed during links for Hamlet and Othello, perhaps (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tragedies

'hamlet and othello perhaps' is the definition.
(tragedies by Shakespeare)

'fumed during links' is the wordplay.
'fumed' becomes 'raged' (I've seen this before).
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'links' becomes 'ties' ('tie' can be a synonym of 'link').
'raged' going inside 'ties' is 'TRAGEDIES'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tragedies that I've seen before include "dramatic works" , "Hamlet' and 'King Lear' perhaps" , "Catastrophes, disasters" , "Emotion-inducing events" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
