Yes, maybe you should ask a librarian at your local library. Or has the Internet made you soft?

Scholars commonly organize Shakespeare’s plays into four major groups: histories, tragedies, comedies, and romances. Ten plays are identified as tragedies.(Listed below) Many plays in the other three categories, however, contain elements of tragedy. Nearly every one of Shakespeare’s plays contains some images of death and loss. At the same time, the plays known as tragedies often include comical passages and portrayals of love and joy. The category of tragedy, therefore, is not straightforward. Various factors contribute to the definition that sets Shakespeare’s tragedies apart
Anthony and Cleopatra
Titus Andronicus
Hamlet
Romeo and Juliet
Timon of Athens
The Life and Death of Julius Ceasar
Macbeth
Coriolanus
King Lear
Othello

It depends on the play.
Hamlet, Romeo & juliet, King Lear, Macbeth and the others all have differnt messages. Although I suppose the one theme runnig through all of them is the idea that "Happily ever after doesn't exist in the grand scheme ofthings and that no matter how good our intentions we, as humans are just flawed enough to turn every victory into a defeat eventually, it is our nature." The fault, good sir, lies not in our stars, but in ourselves.

Shakespeare wrote lots of them.
Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, King Lear and The Merchant of Venice are some examples.
Another author would be Arthor Miller with plays like All My Sons, The Crucible, and Death of a Salesman.
