In many pieces of literature, specifically tragedies, a tragic hero is used.

No, I would swap out "specifically" for "especially", but it is still a clumsy sentence

Yes, it is grammatically correct. However, it would sound better to replace "pieces of literature" with "works of literature" and the use of tragedies and tragic is redundant.

I agree with calvaman, it's like saying, "in comedies, a comic character is used." You need to write a sentence that is actually making a point and says more than stating the obvious. If you could expound upon how the tragic hero is used you would have something...

May I suggest....... Literature that we classify as tragedies, is named such because of the tragic hero.
Or if you do not have to be constrained by a single sentance. ......There are many genre's of literature. The tragedy is as old as ancient Greece. The tragedy is named as such because the hero of the story will face a very sad ending.

Grammatically it is correct. However, you don't want to say, "a tragic hero is used." Rather, "the character of a tragic hero is employed."

I'm not sure, but it sounds off somewhere to me.
