Answer - what is the proper usage of the word tragedy?

[mab-browne.livejournal.com]

Someone asked the question, "What is the proper usage of the word tragedy?" And my smartypants answer is, "Well, it depends on what you're talking about at the time. Is the feeling gone and you can't go on?"

A more considered answer lies under the cut, together with examples from The Sentinel and Stargate.
