This seems like a real misuse of the word \\\"tragic\\\". The whole point of tragedy is that a character\\\'s downfall is their own fault -- their [[TragicMistake mistakes]] or innate [[TragicFlaw flaws]] set events in motion which ruin them. Most {{classic villain}}s are tragic figures, because [[VillainsActHeroesReact they set the plot in motion]] out of their own greed, ambition or hubris, and they\\\'re punished for it. For the same reason most films with a VillainProtagonist are tragedies.
The description of this trope suggests it\\\'s more to do with how \\\'\\\'sympathetic\\\'\\\' their motives are.
