I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">like romeo and juliet</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for tragic that I've seen before include "Disastrous, appalling" , "Greatly distressing" , "Resulting in great loss" , "Disastrous, desperately sad" , "like King Lear" .)
