Well, but Aragorn looked into the palantir and stayed in control - of course, he's a lot stronger, but it's not
pride. Why does it become pride in Denathor?
Yes, Miriel isn't usially quite what comes to mind when you think of the real tragedies... but I'm sorry for her anyway.
Well, Tolkien made the Silmarilion very tragic, but I don't think anyone in L.R. is so very sad. Denethor, Gollum, Saruman... that's all I can think of right now.
Beren and Luthien I wouldn't call tragic. Losing a hand is bad, but ever such a lot of people seem to lose hands and fingers when they hold precious things in those books.

Hannah~*~,
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
Of things unknown, but longed for still
And his tune is heard on the distant hills
For the caged bird sings of freedom. ~Maya Angelou, 'Caged bird', 'Shaker, why don't you sing?'</p>
