Answer:
No, none that I am aware of. In Shakespeare’s time, a tragedy meant that the main character falls from fortune to disaster, normally because of a flaw or fate. Obviously, other characters may be unharmed, or may even benefit from the protagonist’s downfall. I’m not writing to make fun of other posters, but we could as easily call the Matrix a tragedy because Agent Smith loses, or say that Titanic has a happy ending for coffin salesmen. Yes, Macduff or Fortinbras do well at the end of their plays, but they are not the protagonists.
For that reason, because a pre-modern tragedy definitionally means that the hero falls, and that’s what happens in Shakespeare’s plays, I’d say no. There are “problem” plays such as the Merchant of Venice, where the opposite happens—a comedy has a partly sad ending, with Shylock’s defeat—but again, it’s all in what the protagonist does, and Antonio (the merchant) wins at its close when his ships return
Imagery because it’s giving you a visual description
Yes, it is true, it does take more courage to stand up to a friend because they're your friend, once I stood up to a bully that was picking on my friend, the next day, my friend was picking on a kid, I didn't want to tell him to stop, but I did anyway beacasue the little guy was a 9th grader, and I didn't want him to get caught up in my friends business so I pulled my friend off of him and said sorry for the way my friend was acting, I told him the story on he got bullied, after the story, I asked my friend why he bulled the little kid. He said "Im tired of this stuff" I guess he was tired of the bullying that was affecting him as a person. So this school year, im trying to change my friend's life so he doesn't have a bad one
