=== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ===
* ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' is [[Post Modernism|postmodern in nature]], but none of the characters are familiar with postmodernist conventions, instead believing that they're living through a classic tragedy. Much of the story's conflict comes from characters trying to find ways to fulfill their goals without making the same mistakes that normally doom tragic heroes (or, in a few cases, giving up on goals that would lead to an unhappy ending.)
=== [[Film]] ===
* Tom Stoppard's ''[[Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead]].'' Despite their flashes of [[Genre Savvy]] and occasional (dark) comedy, the ending features a complete lack of awareness on the character's part. The futility of their project is laid bare, they die accomplishing nothing except discover their names (and that's still iffy). The downfall being external (but necessary). The minor status of the ''protagonists'' to "incidental" characters like [[Hamlet]].
=== [[Theater]] ===
* [[Bertolt Brecht|Brecht]]'s ''Mother Courage'', as well as ''Measures Taken''. [[Catharsis]] is withheld in order to demand revolutionary action from the audience.
* ''[[Waiting for Godot]]'' is a low and existential tragedy.
